Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This magic moment

So different and so new

Was like any other

Until I met you

[Verse 2]

And then it happened

It took me by surprise

I knew that you felt it, too

I could see it by the look in your eyes

[Verse 3]

Sweeter than wine

Softer than a summer's night

Everything I want, I have

Whenever I hold you tight

[Verse 4]

This magic moment

While your lips are close to mine

Will last forever

Forever 'til the end of time

[Verse 5]

So why won't you dance with me?

Hey baby

Why won't you dance with me?

[Verse 6]

This magic moment

So different and so new

Was like any other

Until I met you

[Verse 7]

And then it happened

You know, it took me by surprise

I knew that you felt it, too

By the look in your eyes

[Verse 8]

Sweeter than wine

Ooh, softer than a summer's night

Everything I want, I have

Whenever I hold you tight

[Verse 9]

This magic moment

Sweeter than wine

Softer than a summer's night

So please

Baby

So please

Save the last dance for me
