Lyrics

This Magic Moment

[Verse 1]

This magic moment

So different and so new

Like any other

Until I kissed you

And then it happened

It took me by surprise

I knew you felt it too

By the look in you eyes

[Bridge]

Sweeter than wine

Softer than a summer night

The feeling I had inside

Whenever I held you tight

[Verse 2]

This magic moment

With your lips so close to mine

Will last forever

Forever till the end of time

Whoaaa, whoaaa, whoaaa
