Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it tooBy the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever, till the end of time (this magic moment)
Whoa, oh, (this magic moment) oh
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever (this magic moment)
Forever, till the end of time (magic)
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Magic, magic, magic

This magic moment
The current situation is inexplicably special
So different and so new
Unlike anything I've experienced before
Was like any other
At first glance, it appeared unremarkable
Until I kissed you
But something changed after that moment
And then it happened
A significant event occurred
It took me by surprise
It was unexpected
I knew that you felt it too
I understood that you shared the same experience
By the look in your eyes
Based on the expression in your gaze
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
This feeling is even more pleasant than the taste of wine
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
This feeling is even more gentle than a summer evening
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
All that I desire is present in this moment
Whenever I hold you tight
Whenever I embrace you closely
While your lips are close to mine
When our mouths are in close proximity
Will last forever
This moment will persist eternally
Forever, till the end of time (this magic moment)
This moment will endure, even beyond the passage of time
Whoa, oh, (this magic moment) oh
An expression of emotion or physical sensation
Magic, magic, magic
A repetition of the essence of this moment
