Once in a lifetime, you find that power
To break out and run from the devil's deep clutch.
All that you need, it's the finest hour,
Is to believe in the magic touch.
A thief in the night,
Love steals you far away.
A thief in the night,
Love takes your breath away.
Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the magic touch.
Once in a lifetime, you find that faith,
When you're under the spell and it takes control.
Everything 'round you just falls in place,
And all that you touch seems to turn to gold.
A thief in the night,
Love steals you far away.
A thief in the night,
Love takes your breath away.
Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the magic touch.
Magic, magic.
Magic, magic, magic, magic.
Once in a lifetime, you find that power
So break out and run from the devil's deep clutch.
All that you need, it's the finest hour,
Is to believe in the magic touch.
It's magic. It's magic.
Magic, magic, magic.
Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the magic touch.

Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the magic touch.

It's magic. It's magic.
It's magic.
It's magic. It's magic.
It's magic.
It's magic. It's magic.
It's magic.
It's magic. It's magic.
It's magic.
