When I was young I thought the stars
Were made for wishing on
And every hole deep in a tree
Must hide a leprechaun
Old houses all had secret rooms
If you could find the key
I do believe in magic, I believe

Chorus:
'Cause magic is the sun that makes
A rainbow out of rain
And magic keeps the dream alive
To try and try again
And magic is the love that stays
When good friends have to leave
I do believe in magic I believe

When I was young the grownups said
One day I'd wake to find
That magic was a childhood game
I'd have to leave behind
Like clothes that would no longer fit
And toys that I'd ignore
I'd not believe in magic anymore

Well now that I am grown I've found
That much to my surprise
The magic did not fade away
It took a new disguise
A child, a friend, a smile, a song
The courage to stand tall
I do believe in magic after all
