It's Magic
Washington Dinah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you
You sign the song begins
You speak and I hear violins, it's magic
The stars, desert the skies
Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms
When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes a wonderland, it's magic
How else can I explain those rainbows
When there ain't no rain, it's magic
Why do I tell me myself
These things that happen are all really true
When in my heart
I know the magic is my love for you
Magic, magic, magic, magic
The lyrics of Washington Dinah's song It's Magic describe the overwhelming feeling of love and how it has the power to make everything else seem insignificant. The singer questions why she tries to rationalize the magical experiences she shares with her lover, when her heart knows that it is her love that creates this magic. When her lover speaks or sings, she hears violins and the stars seem to rush to nestle in her lover's eyes, creating an almost surreal feeling.
The second verse of the song emphasizes that this magic is not the result of any tangible objects like golden wands or mystic charms. Rather, it is the feelings and emotions they share that create fantastic things when they are together. When they walk hand in hand, the world becomes a wonderland and rainbows appear even when there is no rain. The singer admits to knowing that the source of this magic is her love for her partner.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey the idea that love is a magical force that can make the world seem like a better place, even in the absence of any tangible proof. The singer realizes that the source of this magic is the intense love and connection she shares with her partner, which makes everything else pale in comparison.

You sigh, a song begins,
You speak and I hear violins
It's magic
Well the stars desert the skies
And rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic
Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms,
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms
When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes a wonderland
It's magic
Well, how else can I explain
Those rainbows when there is no rain
It's magic...
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you

She was a true diva. Without a doubt the very best. I am 76 yrs young and had the great pleasure of seeing and hearing this great singer/artist in person many times. I'm a jazz and blues fan, and it's great that, that era is made available today w/ high tech. Too, too cool.
