Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
There must have been magic, the night that we met
Am Em G
If I hadn't stopped you
Dm G
I'd always regret
 
Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
A few minutes later, you'd have been out that door
Am Em G
And I'd have been lonely
Dm G
For ever more
C
For ever more
 
Fmaj7 C
Oh what made us do it
Fmaj7 C
Under what holy spell
Fmaj7 C
Nature's mother knew it
Dm7 G
Only too well
 
She reached out her fingers
To point at the sky
Leaving me helpless
Not knowing why
 
And this is the hour
That they turn out the light
Nothing but memories
Burning so bright
Burning so bright
 
Oh what made us do it
Under what holy spell
Nature's mother knew it
Only too well
 
There must have been magic, the night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I'd always regret
 
Fmaj7 Am
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
F C
The night that we met
