#57 This Magic Moment (Jay and The Americans) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you🪄
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes🪄
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight🪄
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever, till the end of time (this magic moment)🪄
Whoa, oh, (this magic moment) oh🪄
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight🪄
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever (this magic moment)
Forever, till the end of time (magic)🪄
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh🪄
Magic, magic, magic
