This Magic Moment / True Love
Aaron Neville Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 know you felt it too

By the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment
Your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna 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

Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Oo-oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo-oo (magic)
Oo-oo-oo-oo (magic)
Oo-oo-oo-oo (magic)
Oo-oo-oo-oo (magic)

If you cry, I think my heart would break,
Darling that would be more than I could take.
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye,
Darling don't you know that I would die.

True love, true love,
True love, true love.

If you cry I don't know what I'd do,
Darling I'm so in love with you.
And if I had felt that I had caused you pain,
My tears would fall like the rain.

True love, true love,
True love, true love.
True love, true love,
True love, true love.

Oo-oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo

This magic moment
This special time we're sharing together

So different and so new
Unlike anything I’ve experienced before

Like any other
At first, it didn't seem out of the ordinary

Until I kissed you
But then our kiss changed everything

And then it happened
Something just clicked between us

It took me by surprise
I wasn’t expecting to feel this way

I know you felt it too
I could tell you felt the same magic between us

By the look in your eyes
The way you looked at me gave it away

Sweeter than wine
Being with you is better than anything else

Softer than a summer night
It feels like a warm, gentle summer evening when I’m with you

Everything I wanna have
Being with you is everything I ever wanted
