Story Behind The Song

I wrote the song as a wedding song and it's been performed at many ceremonies. It's a song about hope and lasting love.

Song Description

A man meets a woman and they begin a relationship that lasts for years.

Lyrics

Gentle Persuader



The man in the mirror was looking alright

Going out for the evening on Saturday night

Leaving alone but looking for somebody magic

There in the corner I looked in the eyes

Of someone who certainly wasn't my type

We both looked away

But we couldn't escape from the magic


The heart is a gentle persuader

And it doesn't much care if it's right or it's wrong

When the heart is a gentle persuader

It goes where it wants to and takes you along

For the ride, along for the ride


We dated for two weeks, the timing was right

We announced our engagement on Saturday night

It wasn't too sudden cause everyone knew it was magic

The choir director played Here Comes The Bride

The gentlemen smiled and the ladies all cried

The words made it legal

The kiss made it right, made it magic

REFRAIN




Another year older, another year wise

We sit in amazement at how the time flies

The kids are all grown up

And making their own kind of magic

A little advice on the power of love

It don't always work out but sometimes it does

So when it does you thank the moon and the stars

And the magic


REFRAIN
