When I was young I thought the stars were made for wishingon
And every hole deep in a tree must hide a leprechaun
Old houses all held secret rooms if one could find the door
But who believes in magic anymore
CHORUS
Magic is the sun that makes a rainbow out of rain
Magic keeps the dream alive to try and try a gain
Magic is the love that stays when good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic, I believe
As I grew up the grown-ups said one day I'd wake to find
That magic is a childish game I'd have to leave behind
Like clothes that would no longer fit, or toys that I'd ignore
I'd not believe in magic anymore
Chorus
Now my chilhoods far behind, I've learned to my surprise
The magic did not fade away, it wears a new disguise
A child, a friend, a smile, a song, the courage to stand tall
And love's the greatest magic of them all
Chorus
(Last line)
I do believe in magic, and love's the greatest magic
I do believe in magic, I believe
