If It's Magic Lyrics - Silver Pony - Cassandra Wilson

If it's magic 

Then why can't it be everlasting 

Like the sun that always shines 

Like the poets in this rhyme 

Like the galaxies in time 

If it's pleasing 

Then why can't it be never leaving 

Like the day that never fails 

Like on seashores there are shells 

Like the time that always tells 

It holds the key to every heart 

Throughout the universe 

It fills you up without a bite 

And quenches every thirst 

So 

If it's special 

Then with it why aren't we as careful 

As making sure we dress in style 

Posing pictures with a smile 

Keeping danger from a child 

It holds the key to every heart 

Throughout the universe 

It fills you up without a bite 

And quenches every thirst 

So 

If it's magic 

Why can't we make it everlasting 

Like the lifetime of the sun 

It will leave no heart undone 

For there's enough for everyone
