You sigh, the song begins, you
speak and I hear violins
It's magic
The stars desert the skies and
rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic
Without a golden wand or mystic
charms
Fantastic things begin when I am
in your arms
When we walk hand-in-hand, the
world becomes a wonderland
It's magic
How else can I explain those raindrops,
when there is no rain?
It's magic
Why do I tell me myself these
things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic
is my love for you?
It's magic
It's magic
Why do I tell me myself these
things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you?
