One Moment Worth Years Louis Armstrong

[Carmen McRae, (Louis Armstrong)]
Must I spend a lifetime just in waiting?
While others have fun
I am unequivocally stating
That, brother, you’re done
(Stop and think it over just a minute)
I’ve had time to think for several days
(Let me plead my case and I will win it)
Enough of your ways

[Louis Armstrong]
It can happen just once in a lifetime
That a touch can bring visions of bliss
So don’t wait for perfection
Stop for reflection
Yield with a tender kiss

Dry your tears and just think of this moment
One moment worth years
Only once in a lifetime of waiting
Does the world seem to promise you more
Than you thought could exist
So please don’t resist
You’ll discover what living is for

[Louis Armstrong, (Carmen McRae)]
It may happen just once in a lifetime
It’s a moment too rare to ignore
It’s you I need so follow my lead
Let’s see what life has in store
