Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time
[Verse 3]
(Magic, magic) Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Magic, magic) Hmm
[Verse 4]
Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time
[Verse 5]
(Magic, magic) Oh, oh
(Magic, magic) Magic moment, magic moment
Magic moment (Magic)
Oh, oh (Magic)
Oh, oh (Magic)
(Magic)
