Lyrics Cassandra Wilson

Cassandra Wilson

If It's Magic

If it's magic

Then why can't it be everlasting

Like the sun that always shines

Like the poets endless rhyme

Like the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing

Then why can't it be never leaving

Like the, 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

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

There's enough for everyone
