Lyrics
Magic Touch
You've given me back the magic touch:
That wonderful feeling that I love so much!
Trembling 'neath my fingers, sparkling in my eyes.
No wonder while love lingers, we're so quick to surmise (that) . . .
It could last forever, and well it might --
For when we've found something good, we hold it tight.
Cherish love, don't crush it; hold it to your heart.
Remember not to count and rush the hours till you part.
Chorus: And maybe someday, it will come true --
That love you've been dreaming of will come to you.
But, in the meantime . . .
Look to each day for what it holds:
Don't let life pass you by before you're old.
Love comes undetected; it takes you by surprise,
When you least expect it, you're blessed, you realize.
(Chorus)
Look to each day for what it holds;
Don't let life pass you by before you're old.
Love came undetected; it took me by surprise,
And when I least expected, I was blessed, I realized...
with magic touch.
