Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you
[Verse 2]
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it, too
I could see it by the look in your eyes
[Verse 3]
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight
[Verse 4]
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever 'til the end of time
[Verse 5]
So why won't you dance with me?
Hey baby
Why won't you dance with me?
[Verse 6]
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you
[Verse 7]
And then it happened
You know, it took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it, too
By the look in your eyes
[Verse 8]
Sweeter than wine
Ooh, softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight
[Verse 9]
This magic moment
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
So please
Baby
So please
Save the last dance for me
