It only takes a moment For your eyes to meet and then Your heart knows in a moment You will never be alone again I held her for an instant But my arms felt sure and strong It only takes a moment To be loved a whole life long... Isn't the world full of wonderful things I have lost so many things: my job, my future, everything that people think is important. But I don't care! Cause even if I have to dig ditches for the rest of my life, I should be a ditch digger who once had a wonderful day I missed a few words back there, Mr. Hackl. Right after 'it only'... ...Takes a moment! But his arms felt sure and strong It only takes a moment He held me for an instant But his arms felt safe and strong It only takes a moment To be loved a whole life long And that is all That love's about And we'll recall when time runs out That it only took a moment To be loved a whole life long!
