Magic
I had given up on love. I had no desire.
It always turned into a turn off. There was no fire.
Then I saw you. I couldn’t believe it.
You stole my heart. I couldn’t retrieve it.
You can do magic!!
Like the song, you cast your spell.
With your eyes. You do it so well.
You can do magic!!
I knew when I let you in.
You would control me until the end.
I’m lost in your arms. I have no will.
I just lie here & be real still.
I am hypnotized by your eyes.
Your smile could be a thin disguise.
I have no defense from your charms.
I only desire to be in your arms.
If I wanted to, I couldn’t leave.
I have no tricks hidden up my sleeve.
You can do magic!!
Like the song, you cast your spell.
With your eyes. You do it so well.
You can do magic!!
I knew when I let you in.
You would control me until the end.
On those nights when it’s dark and cold.
The thunder roars and I feel so old.
You come to me & stop my shaking.
I sleep till dawn without waking.
When you wrap me in your arms,
I feel warm and safe from all harm.
I never, never want to let you go.
I tell myself I should take it slow.
You can do magic!!
Like the song, you cast your spell.
With your eyes. You do it so well.
You can do magic!!
I knew when I let you in.
You would control me until the end.
Now the years have passed and you’re still mine.
I am still in a trance around you all the time.
I realize how happy it has been for me.
Finding real love made the difference, you see.
