This Magic Moment / True Love
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Whenever I hold you tight
I feel complete when I hold you in my arms
This magic moment
Our time together, like I said before
Your lips are close to mine
The way we kiss is one of the things that make this moment magical
Will last forever
I’ll never forget this moment, it'll be in my memories forever
Forever till the end of time
Nothing could make me forget how special this moment is
If you cry, I think my heart would break,
Your tears break my heart, I can't bear to see you suffer
Darling that would be more than I could take.
I wouldn't know how to handle seeing you upset
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye,
If I ever saw you crying, it would break me into a million pieces
Darling don't you know that I would die.
I love you so much that seeing you hurt would be unbearable
True love, true love,
What we share is more than just infatuation, it’s true love
True love, true love.
I want to make sure you know how truly in love with you I am
