This magic moment, so different and so new
Was like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened, it took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too, by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want, I have

Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment while your lips are close to mine
Will last forever, forever 'till the end of time

(Magic, magic) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Magic, magic) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Magic, magic) uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment while your lips are close to mine
Will last forever, forever 'till the end of time

(Magic, magic) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Magic moment (magic, magic)

Magic moment (magic, magic)
Magic moment (magic, magic)
