It Don't Take but a Few Minutes

When I see those big brown eyes is when I take my

queue

It don't take me but a few minutes to get a

message through

I talked to you, and you talked to

me and we talked to one another

It don't take us

but a few minutes to understand each other

If I was twenty-three years old and you were

twenty-two

I bet no one would try to run our lives

the way they do

We take a chance and try romance,

be true to one another

It don't take us but a few

minutes, when we want each other

If I was in San Diego and you were in Portland,

Maine

I'd fly to you lock, stock and bone in hail

and pouring rain

Over the mountains, through the

valleys, coming home to each other

It don't take

us but a few minutes to get to one another

You would write a love song and play on my guitar

And if you should, in Hollywood, become a movie

star

Would you let your heart forget, I loved you

and you only

It don't take but a few minutes, when

you're feeling lonely
