Lyrics for If It's Magic

If it's magic Then why can't it be everlasting Like the sun that always shines Like the poets in this rhyme Like the galaxies in time? If it's pleasing Then why can't it be never leaving Like the day that never fails Like on seashores there are shells Like the time that always tells? It holds the key to every heart Throughout the universe It fills you up without a bite And quenches every thirst So, if it's special Then with it why aren't we as careful As making sure we dress in style Posing pictures with a smile Keeping danger from a child? It holds the key to every heart Throughout the universe It fills you up without a bite And quenches every thirst So, if it's magic Why can't we make it everlasting Like the lifetime of the sun? It will leave no heart undone For there's enough for everyone
