It Only Takes a Moment - Jerry Herman

[engelbach]

This is my take on this beautiful song by Jerry Herman from Hello Dolly.

There's a breathtaking version of it on YouTube, sung magnificently as a straight ballad by Florence Lacey.

My chord changes are a little different from the original, and she sings it in G, whereas mine is in Bb. But with a little adjustment you could play along with her.

"It Only Takes A Moment" is another of the unjustly underperformed tunes of the 1960s. A lead sheet can be found in the Ultimate Broadway Fake Book published by Hal Leonard. Thanks for posting this very nice arrangement.

Muchas gracias, Keith, for citing a source for the sheet music.

It's also in The Jerry Herman Songbook, The Performer's Complete Fake Book, Hal Leonard's The Best Fake Book Ever, and a fake book known simply as The Book.

Cheers,
