It is so extraordinarily full of magic
And, and in tough times of my life
I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.
Come play a while,
Come dance and sing,
Come fall and raise,
Become kings and queens,
For all we are is beautiful.
You and me are the only ones.
