Peter, Paul & Mary - It's Magic lyrics

He cut her in half With a shiny steel saw He put her all back together And I was in awe As rabbits and doves and bandanas appeared And he pulled a quarter right out of my ear I turned to my dad, I said, 'How'd he do it?' And dad, he just smiled, he said, 'There's nothing to it." It's magic and you don't want to know Just how it's done, it would ruin the show You've just got to believe 'Cause believing is what makes it happen Oh it's nothing but magic Now I fell in love the first time in 8th grade And I started shaving the very next day Just walking her home made me light on my feet And I promised her things you just wouldn't believe And when I asked my dad why girls had that effect He said, 'Go ask your mom, I ain't figured it yet' It's magic and you don't want to know Just how it's done, it would ruin the show You've just got to believe 'Cause believing is what makes it happen Oh it's nothing but magic Well the years have been hard, the years have been kind These last years have taken both parents of mine Some things you can't change with a wave of your hand So many things I still don't understand But, in a hospital gown, standing next to my wife I'm watching this miracle come into life It's magic and you don't want to know Just how it's done, it would ruin the show You've just got to believe 'Cause believing is what makes it happen Oh it's nothing but magic and you don't want to know Just how it's done, it would ruin the show You've just got to believe 'Cause believing is what makes it happen Oh it's nothing but magic Yes, it's magic
