Paul Simon - If It's Magic

If it's magic...
Why can't it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets endless rhymes
Like the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing...
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
Across the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

And if it's special
Then with it why aren't we more careful
As it dress in style
Take photos 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

If it's magic...
Why can't we make it everlasting
Like the power of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone
