Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring me only joy, don't bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life
All is here for the taking for a price
For a price, yeah, for a price, for a price, good Lord
And I say, I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy, no more sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life, yeah
And it's a magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
Oh magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
I said, where the mystic is always around
You enjoy the sights and sound
So high you don't wanna be down
This is where I can be found
Yeah, where the mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and the sounds
So high you don't wanna be down
And this is where I can be
It's the magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
Ay, yeah, I was depressed, frustrated and lonely
Then a voice from nowhere came and consoled me
Now do the best you can, you stand up and be a man
You're in the magic city with magic lights
Oh, magic moments, magical heights
This magic city, magic lights
Magical moments, magical heights
I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don't bring no sorrow, no, no
Call me optimistic, man believe in life, yeah
And all is there for the taking for a price
You're in the magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights, yeah
Magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magical heights
Magic moments, I tell you once more
Where the mystic is all around
You enjoy the sights and the sound
So high you don't wanna be down
This is where I can be found
Down there where the mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and the sound
So high you don't wanna be down
Down there, that's, that's where I can
City, lights, moments, magical heights
Oh, magic city, magic lights
Magic moments, magical heights
Ay, magic city, magic lights
Magical moments, magical heights
Magic city, magic lights, moments, heights
City, lights, moments, heights
City, lights, moments, heights
City, lights, moments, heights
City, lights, moments, heights
