Magic
C C F C
When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishing on
F C C G7
And every hole deep in a tree would hide a leprechaun
C C F C
Old houses all had secret rooms, if you could find the key
F G7 C
I do believe in magic, I believe.
CHORUS:
Magic is the sun that makes the rainbow out of rain
And magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again
And magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe.
When I was young, the grown-ups said, one day I’d wake to find
That magic was a childhood dream I’d have to leave behind
Like clothes that would no longer fit and toys that I’d ignore
I’d not believe in magic anymore.
Well, now that I’m grown, I found that much to my surprise
The magic did not fade away, it took a new disguise
A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall
I do believe in magic after all.
Menzies version:
When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishing on
And every hole deep in a tree would hide a leprechaun
Old houses all had secret rooms, if one could find the door
But who believes in magic anymore
Chorus:
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain
And magic keeps the dream alive to try and try again
And magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe.
As I grew up, the grown-ups said, one day I’d wake to find
That magic was a childhood dream I’d have to leave behind
Like clothes that would no longer fit and toys that I’d ignore
I’d not believe in magic anymore.
And now my childhood’s far behind, I’ve learned to my surprise
The magic did not fade away, it wears a new disguise
A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall
And love’s the greatest magic of them all.
