Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’ve heard about Houdini and the rest of them
And I’d put you up against the best of them
As far as I’m concerned, you’re the tops
And you don’t resort to props
Things I used to think were inconceivable
You’ve a way of making them believable
And upon a night like this
I’m afraid you just can’t miss
Refrain:
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 myself
These things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
