[Verse 1: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

If it's magic

Then why can't it be everlasting?

Like the sun that always shines

Like the poet's endless rhyme

Like the galaxies in time


[Verse 2: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

If it's pleasing

Then 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


[Bridge: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

It holds the key to every hеart

Throughout the universe

It fills you up without a bitе

And quenches every thirst

So...


[Verse 3: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

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


[Bridge: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

It holds the key to every heart

Throughout the universe

It fills you up without a bite

And quenches every thirst

So...


[Verse 4: Cécile McLorin Salvant]

If it's magic

Why can't we make it everlasting?

Like the lifetime of the sun

It will leave no heart undone

For there's enough for everyone
