Let the Music Work Its Magic

Let the Music Work Its Magic

   Happy couples

   on the dance floor.

   It’s finally Friday night.

   While the band plays

   the song you asked for,

   they’re turning down the lights.

   Well, it’s an old one,

   made for romance,

   and they play it nice and slow.

       And your thoughts go

   spinning backwards,

   back to someone you used to know.

   They played that number

   when you were younger,

   and she always sang along.

   Ain’t it funny

   how old memories

   can be brought back by a song?

   Her southern accent.

   Her sexy dancing.

   And that little lopsided grin.

   Let the music

   work its magic,

   and have them play that old song again.

   They played that number

   when you were younger,

   and she always sang along.

   Ain’t it funny

   how old memories

   can be brought back by a song?

   Her lilac perfume.

   Her yellow bedroom.

   And the warmth of her suntanned skin.

   Let the music

   work its magic,

   and have them play that old song again.
