About Could It Be Magic

"Could It Be Magic" is a song with lyrics by Adrienne Anderson and music by Barry Manilow, based on Frédéric Chopin's Prelude in C Minor, Opus 28, Number 20. Initially released in 1971 by Featherbed (a group of session musicians featuring Barry Manilow), produced and co-written by Tony Orlando, it was later re-recorded as a Barry Manilow solo track, given a first album and single release in 1973 on Bell Records and - after being remixed - an album and single re-release in 1975 on Arista Records. The 1975 re-release became one of Manilow's first hits. The song has been recorded by a number of other artists over the years, most successfully by Donna Summer in 1976 and by Take That in 1992.

Oh baby it's been so long
I've waited so long
And now that I have you
I want you to come, come, come

Spirits move me every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Oh sweet Peter, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find

Baby, I want you, come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you no, no, no, and hold on fast
Could this be your magic at last?

Baby, take me high upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you, build my world around you
Never leave you till my life is done

Baby, I want you, come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you no, no, no, hold on fast
Could it be your magic at last?

Baby I want you, come
Now come and hold on fast
Could this be your magic at last
Could it be magic?

Come, come, come into my arms
Could this be your magic at last?
Could it be magic?

Come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you, all of you
Baby I want you, now, now, oh now
Oh come and hold on fast
