Once there was an ocean
Covering all the land
And the future lay sleeping
Upon its sandy bed
No strong emotion
Shook my steady hand
But a longing lay
Beneath the surface of the life I led
I thought I had it all worked out
And I knew the score
Till you came along and showed me something
That meant much more
You've given me something
That I've never had before
Like the magic in the night
When I'm walking next to you
You've given me something
That can open any door
So open up and let me give
That magic back to you
The things that I called mine
Were the finest of the fine
With beauty, race and laughter
My life was blessed
I traveled around the planet
Acting like I ran it
I had the best
I didn't need the rest
They all thought of me as a man
Who had everything
But I never dreamed of the happiness
Your love could bring
And you've given me something
That I've never had before
Like the magic in the night
When I'm walking next to you
You've given me something
That can open any door
So open up your heart
And let me give
That magic back to you
You've given me something
That I've never had before
Like the magic in the night
When I'm walking next to you
There's no doubt about it
Love can open any door
So open up your heart
And let me give
That magic back to you
