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 rainbows 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 myself these things that happen are all really true When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you
