"Magic
Moments" is a popular song with music by Burt
Bacharach and lyrics by Hal David,
one of the first compositions by that duo. The song was published in 1957.
The
biggest hit version of the song was recorded by Perry Como in 1957, and became a hit in early 1958. His recording was produced by Joe Reisman. The peak position in the United States is hard to track precisely, due to the multiple charts used in Billboard magazine. The overall impact of the song probably fell just below the top ten. The
song was also a 1958 hit in Italy,
while in the United Kingdom it spent eight weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart,
becoming Como's biggest ever hit there. A less successful UK cover version
recorded by Ronnie Hilton reached No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart, in 1958.
Magic
moments
When two hearts are caring
Magic moments
Memories we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment
We kissed the night of the hayride
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm
While taking a sleigh ride
Magic moments
Memories we've been sharing
Magic moments
When two hearts are caring
Time can't erase the memory of
These magic moments filled with love
The telephone call
That tied up the line for hours and hours
The Saturday dance I got up the nerve
To send you some flowers
Magic moments
Memories we've been sharing
Magic moments
When two hearts are caring
Time can't erase the memory of
These magic moments filled with love
(The way that we cheered
Whenever our team was scoring a touchdown)
The time that the floor fell out of my car
When I put the clutch down
(The penny arcade, the games that we played
The fun and the prizes)
The Halloween hop when everyone came
In funny disguises
Magic moments
Filled with love
