When I see those big brown eyes, that's when I take my cue.
Don't take me but a few minutes to get a message through.
I talk to you and you talk to me and we talk to one another.
Don't take us but a few minutes to understand each other.
If I was 23 years old and you were 22, I bet no one would try to run our life the way they do.
We'd take a chance and try romance and be true to one another.
It don't take us but a few minutes to win we want each other.
If I was in San Diego and you were in Portland, Maine,
I'd fly to you, lock, stock and bond, hail, fog or rain.
Over the mountain, through the valley, coming home to each other.
It don't take us but a few minutes to get to one another.
If 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 love you and you only?
It don't take but a few minutes when you're feeling lonely.
When I saw those big brown eyes, that's when I took my cue.
It didn't take me but a few minutes to get a message through.
I'd talk to her and she'd talk to me and we'd talk to one another.
It don't take us but a few minutes to understand each other.
