Magic

Magic

What is it about you that’s touched me this way
And has made me feel things I’m not sure how to say
Is there magic about you that no one else knows
For I still see your eyes every time that mine close
Your breath I can feel though there’s no breeze around
And your voice I can hear though the night’s without sound
Your body warms mine even though you’re not here
And your smile, though it’s dark, I can see bright and clear
Your lips touch to mine with a kiss full and deep
Though I’m certain that somewhere you’re lying asleep
While I lay here alone and we’re so far apart
I can still somehow feel every beat of your heart
If not magic, I’m sure it does not matter how
Just as long as I’m feeling the way I do now
Because even distance can’t keep us apart
While each night I sleep next to you in my heart
You’re a woman as men only know in their dreams
But you’ve entered my life just like magic it seems
And you’ve given me more than mere words seem to say
Just by giving yourself in your soft, gentle way
