if it s magic

Deniece Williams

If it s magic
Then why can t it be everlasting
Like the Sun that always shines
Like the poets in this rhyme
Like the galaxies in time?

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?

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 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
For there s enough for everyone
