Lyrics
- Life to me was just an empty bubble
Everything I hoped for went astray
Suddenly I learned to laugh at trouble
Suddenly a rainbow came my way
Refrain:
Magic, my heart was in despair
Gloom was everywhere
You smiled at me and changed by life like magic
Your smile was magic
Magic, the moment you appeared
Shadows disappeared
You touched my hand
And thrilled me with your magic
Your touch was magic, magic
Your love will brighten each tomorrow
Make up for all that I’ve been through
I’m glad I’ve known the pain of sorrow
Or else I might have never known you
Magic, you’re everything divine
Heaven made you mine
To lose you now would be so awfully tragic
Your love is magic
The magic of love is mine
- Every single day was sad and weary
Just an endless round of misery
Every single night was dark and dreary
Till you brought the thrill of love to me
