Could It Be Magic
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spirits move me, every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
You're my life line, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find
Baby I want you come, come, come into my arms
Could it be magic now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Sun, sun
Sun, sun
(Take me) baby take me high upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you, yeah build my world around you
Never leave you 'til my life is done
Baby I want you come, come, come into my arms
Let me feel the wonder of all of you
Could it be magic now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Woh woh woh time
Woh woh woh take me
Woh woh woh time
Woh woh woh
Could it be magic now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Baby I want you come, come, come into my arms
Let me feel the wonder of all of you
Could it be magic now?
The song Could It Be Magic by Take That expresses the intense emotions and feelings of the singer towards their love interest. The opening verses describe the way the singer feels each time they are near the person they love, using the image of spirits moving him and causing a cyclone in his mind. The person he loves is described as his lifeline and the answer to all the questions he has been seeking. He speaks of his desire to hold the person and feel wonder at the experience. The chorus questions whether this intense feeling can be considered magic and asks if they should hold on to it fast.
The second verse takes us to the picture of having his lover high up on a hillside where the stallion meets the sun. The singer presents himself as someone who wants to invest in his lover and build his world around her. He is committed to never leave her until his life is done, emphasizing the depth of his love. The chorus repeats itself, asking if what they are feeling is magic, and whether they should hold on to it.
