It's Magic - Peter, Paul and Mary

He cut her in half

With a shiny steel saw

He put her all back together

And I was in awe

As rabbits and doves and bandanas appeared

And he pulled a quarter right out of my ear

I turned to my dad, I said, 'How'd he do it?'

And dad, he just smiled, he said, 'There's nothing to it."

It’s magic and you don’t want to know

Just how it’s done, it would ruin the show

You’ve just got to believe

'Cause believing is what makes it happen

Oh it’s nothing but magic

Now I fell in love the first time in 8th grade

And I started shaving the very next day

Just walking her home made me light on my feet

And I promised her things you just wouldn’t believe

And when I asked my dad why girls had that effect

He said, 'Go ask your mom, I ain’t figured it yet'

It’s magic and you don’t want to know

Just how it’s done, it would ruin the show

You’ve just got to believe

'Cause believing is what makes it happen

Oh it’s nothing but magic

Well the years have been hard, the years have been kind

These last years have taken both parents of mine

Some things you can’t change with a wave of your hand

So many things I still don’t understand

But, in a hospital gown, standing next to my wife

I’m watching this miracle come into life

It’s magic and you don’t want to know

Just how it’s done, it would ruin the show

You’ve just got to believe

'Cause believing is what makes it happen

Oh it’s nothing but magic and you don’t want to know

Just how it’s done, it would ruin the show

You’ve just got to believe

'Cause believing is what makes it happen

Oh it’s nothing but magic

Yes, it’s magic
