Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's magic, it's magic, the way we got together
There's magic around us in the air
It's magic, it's magic, no not at random
And there must be a higher power, somewhere
[Verse 2]
I know that magic is an easy word to condemn
But I've tried other girls and I wasn't made for them
And I knew it from afar, in that lonely rock 'n roll bar
That there must be a higher power, somewhere
Go
[Verse 3]
It's magic, it's magic, the way we got together
It's magic as if it was ordained
It's magic, it's magic, no not by chance
And there must be a higher power, I'm sayin'
[Verse 4]
I know that magic is an easy word to abuse
But I've tried other words and what words can I use?
And I knew it from that first kiss, so stingy and so spare
Yes, there must be a higher power, somewhere
[Verse 5]
It's magic, it's magic, the way we got together
It's magic, it's justice, it's grace
It's magic, it's magic, no not at random
And there must be a higher power, some place
[Verse 6]
They say that magic and the science will collide
Oh, but Einstein saw me lookin' at her and he joined my side
And I knew how it would be, the way she hated me
Then there must be a higher power, some where
[Verse 7]
It's magic, it's magic, the way we got together
It's magic, it's freedom, it's fair
It's magic, it's magic, no not at random
And there must be a higher power, somewhere
