The Magic Wasn't There - Julie Covington

With just a word a single sign of care

With just a touch I could have been beguiled

But circumstances never smiled

Because the magic wasn’t there

Who was it then the poet who once said

How beautiful they are the trains you miss

So time can’t put an end to this

I have the memory instead

These nothing scenes are still experience

You even weep for what did not take place

Events that don’t occur are still events

Some people vanish with a trace

With just a word a single sign of care

With just a touch I could have been beguiled

But circumstances never smiled

Because the magic wasn’t there

With just a word a single sign of care

With just a touch I could have been beguiled

But circumstances never smiled

And now what never happened drives me wild

Because the magic wasn’t there

The magic wasn’t there

The magic wasn’t there
