[Verse 1]
Don't tell me how I had a vision
That this day would come to be
Call it luck, call it intuition
Here I am (Here we are)
Isn't that enough
For a little bit of reality?
Fate is good, fate can be real
If you believe it's what you feel

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a moment
When I looked into your eyes
I knew I got the prize
Oh baby, what a sweet surprise

[Chorus]
It only took a minute
Baby, to let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you

[Verse 2]
Time and time again
Boy, I've always been
The only one to think things through
You got a hold of me
Set me free
Who would have known
Right out of the blue?
I discovered the magic of all my dreams that night
With just one look at you
I knew that everything would be alright

[Chorus]
It only took a minute
Baby, to let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you

[Bridge]
Here I am, isn't that a vision?
Here I am, isn't that a vision?
Oh, what a moment
When I looked into your eyes
I knew I got the prize
Oh, baby what a sweet surprise

[Chorus]
It only took a minute
Baby, to let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall
It only took a minute
Baby, to let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you
It only took a minute
Baby, to let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you

Mandy Moore

Amanda Leigh Moore (born April 10, 1984) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She rose to fame in the late 1990s with her debut single, “Candy”. The song was a commercial success, peaking at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was therefore compared to the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson.

In 1999, Moore released her debut studio album, So Real, and it was certified platinum by the RIAA, and has sold 1.0 million copies since its release. She was also an opening act for boy bands, including The Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC.

Her second studio album, I Wanna Be with You, was released in 2000, and spawned her only top 40 single in the US to date, which is the title track.
