This Magic Moment
The Drifters Lyrics

The first verse of The Drifters' song "This Magic Moment" describes the unique and unexpected feeling that the singer experiences during a romantic moment with his partner. Prior to the kiss, their experience was like any other. However, the simple act of kissing creates a significant moment that took the singer by surprise. He is able to sense that his partner felt the same way by the look in their eyes. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of this magic moment by comparing it to wine, a summer night, and everything the singer could want. When he holds his partner tight, he experiences the sweetness and softness of the moment. The final line of the chorus suggests that the magic moment will last forever, until the end of time.

Throughout the song, the repetition of "magic" creates a sense of enchantment and adds to the emotional intensity of the moment being described. The way the chorus builds up and then repeats "magic moment" adds to the sense of permanence and importance of the experience. The song is a reminder that some moments in life are truly special and can have an impact that lasts beyond the moment itself.
