A song from Saturday Night, a 1954 musical with a score by Sondheim and a book by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein, based on their play Front Porch in Flatbush.

In no time at all
I could take a fling at romance
There's no time to fall carefully
This may be my big chance
In no time at all
I could fall in love just for fun
It's no crime to fall easily
Keep it lighthearted

I thought
That I had love's number

What you should do today!"
And so
I'm on call
For the first romance that comes through
In no time at all
I could very easily
Fall in love with you

(In no time at all)
Wilbur Wright
Years to learn to build something that flew
But my heart took flight in no time
By spending a moment with you

Fred Astaire

By spending a moment with you
The look in your eyes was a pleasure
My personal treasure was in it
J.P. Morgan works weekends
I got rich in a minute!
It took
Sigmund Freud
Years to learn what makes people feel blue
But I'm overjoyed
I avoid being low
Just by spending a moment with you
A moment with you
A moment with you
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
A moment with-
