Dave Marsh over ‘This magic moment’As with many things for which I have no words of my own, there is a record that expresses what I'm talking of.
Cold on the page, without the baion bass and strings and the crying in the singer's voice, it may tell only a part of the story.
But I'll put what it says here anyway, in hope that that fragment is enough.

This magic momentThis magic momentSo different and so newWas like any otherUntil I kissed you
And then it happenedIt took me by surprise I knew that you felt it tooBy the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wineSofter than the summer nightEverything I want I haveWhenever I hold you tight
This magic momentWhile your lips are close to mineWill last forever Forever til the end of time
Oh.......Oh.......Mm......
Sweeter than wineSofter than the summer nightEverything I want I haveWhenever I hold you tight
This magic moment While your lips are close to mineWill last forever Forever til the end of time
Oh.......Magic moment......Magic moment......Magic moment......
