Julie Covington - The Magic Wasn't There
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
With just a word, a single sign of Gcare
With just a F#mtouch, I could have been beBguiled
But circumstances never EsmiledA  
Because the magic wasn't Ethere
[Verse 2]
Who was it then, the poet who once Gsaid?
How beautiful they F#mare, the trains you Bmiss
So time can't put an end to EthisA  
I have the memory inEstead
[Bridge]
These Gnothing scenes are Cstill experiFence
You even Bweep for what did not take Eplace
EGvents that don't ocCcur are still eFvents
Some people vanish with a Etrace
[Verse 3]
With just a word, a single sign of Gcare
With just a F#mtouch, I could have been beBguiled
But circumstances never EsmiledA  
Because the magic wasn't Ethere
[Verse 4]
With just a word, a single sign of Gcare
With just a F#mtouch, I could have been beBguiled
But circumstances never EsmiledA  
And Abnow what never happened, drives me Awild
Because the magic wasn't EthereA  
The magic wasn't EthereA  
The magic wasn't EthereA
