Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

Do you believe in charms and spells
In mystic words and magic wands and wishing wells?
Don’t look so wise, don’t show your scorn
Watch yourself, I warn you

Refrain
Hide your heart from sight
Lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don’t count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh, and down you tumble
Keep an eye on Spring
Run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder
How your arms would be
And it happened to me
