In stoGrybooks thBey say that love iCs the magic of the soulG  Em  
DAnd a straightjacCket cAman’t hold
the heGart of man or Houdini’s Bhand
CBut a heart can never seGeEm  
Dthat HarGry had a Amkey and a man blissful diEmllusion
AGnd if he thinks lBove is more than a show
GWell what doesn’t hurt him, he Cdon’t need to know
GAnd if you ask me iAmt’s a good way to go
CSo let’s get on Dwith the illuGsion

GWell the first boy BI ever loved, hCe had an angel’s facGeEm  
DAnd he vanCished without a Amtrace
AGnd down the line some Bwere so fine
BCut a man of my dGreamsEm  
was neDver wGho he sAmeemed
And if you share my Emconfusion
If lGove and life turned oBut as such
GIf you’ve lost faith in the mCagic touch
GWell maybe we’ve just lAmived too much
So lCet’s get on wDith the iGllusion

If love and life turned out as such
