Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive ... for you

I'll bring all your dreams alive... for you

From where I stand, you are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you

Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive... for you

I'll bring all your dreams alive... for you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive... for you

I'll bring all your dreams alive... for you

RIP Olivia. You will always be magical. ❤️

This was the her best song.

I remember so clearly even now hearing Casey Kasem’s distinctive voice coming on the radio every Sunday evening back in the summer of 1980 announcing “And for the 5th consecutive week occupying the top spot on our countdown…”

Followed by the intro notes of this ghostly beauty of a tune playing inside the garage of my best friend’s house while we watched his older brother install a turbo blower on his Pontiac Trans Am with his blonde vixen gf looking on in satisfactory bliss.

Man, the early 80’s were magical…

@Stevie Rhim I never liked those T tops. To me they just looked too awkward and mechanical ......I prefer smooth and sleek. Back then all those "extras" would easily break or leak or get stuck.

Stevie Rhim

@AtomicPlayGirl 66 YES!! Whatever happened to T-Tops?? :)

I had a solid white TransAm (no gold eagle) , black leather interior. Glass packs muffler. So I can relate to THAT feeling of fave music + fave car. Indeed, those are the best memories. ❤❤❤

MAGIC is my fave ON-J song.

I think it had a much deeper meaning to her and its writer, John Farrar, than just being a clever sounding song.

After listening to ON-J interviews I think she believed and practiced the Magic Secret approach to life, as found in the Rhonda Byrne books. Quantum physics. Olivia always manifested her own health and she had so much gratitude. ❤❤❤

Plax

It’s her most complex serious and haunting song

Johnny Beane

Love this song. RIP Olivia.

Patrick Casey

Rest in peace Olivia. Thank you for the music.

Gordon Welke

Thanks so much for this. Reminds me of travelling across Canada in the summer of the early 1981. My Mom, my Dad, My Sisters and Dog travelled in a beige station wagon and a blue hardtop trailer. I still get tears listening to this.
