If It's Magic - Nnenna Freelon

If it’s magic…

Then why can’t it be everlasting

Like the sun that always shines

Like the poets endless 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
