Legrand : Magic

Magic - Kiri Te Kanawa/Michel Legrand/London Studio Orchestra

When did the magic disappear

How did we get from there to here

I didn't see it coming

I didn't see it going

But that it's gone is very clear

No smoke no mirrors no goodbye

There is no telling how or why

Last thing I knew you loved me

Next thing I knew you left me

The heart is quicker than the eye

A door didn't close and a key didn't turn

Not a sound not a sigh not a clue

Were your arms were your eyes

Were your lips full of lies

Was it all just an act only pure illusion

You are a master of the art

You had me fooled right from the start

And though you left me sadder

You also left me wiser

I'll take less chances with my heart

When did the magic disappear

How did we get from there to here

I didn't see it coming

I didn't see it going

I guess it happened all too fast

I've had the hocus pocus

I've had the razzle-dazzle

I want the magic that will last
