Magic

Paul McCartney

There must have been magic

The night that we met

If I hadn't stopped you

I'd always regret

A few minutes later

You'd have been out that door

And I'd have been lonely

Forever more

Forever more

Oh what made us do it?

Under what holy spell?

Nature's mother knew it

Only too well

She reached out her fingers

To point at the sky

Leaving me helpless

Not knowing why

And this is the hour

That they turn out the light

Nothing but memories

Burning so bright

Burning so bright

Oh what made us do it?

Under what holy spell?

Nature's mother knew it

Only too well

There must have been magic

The night that we met

If I hadn't stopped you

I'd always regret

There must have been magic

There must have been magic

There must have been magic

The night that we met
