Jimmy Buffett - Bring Back the Magic

Album:

Bring Back the Magic
By: Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings
1988
Inspired by a Noel Rockmore painting entitled "Ride of the Beachcombers". I bought the painting and sat with it for a morning in New Orleans and let it and the town talk to me.
Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin' straight from the heart
Though you know that you're gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin' straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins

Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic

Beachcombers ride
Oh children lost in the tide
Time's never at their command
Waves melt all castles of sand
Melt all castles of sand

Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic

Red sky at night
Oh, such a sailor's delight
Red sky at dawn
Oh-oh-oh, gypsy song's comin' on
Gypsy song's comin' on, song's comin' on

Chorus:
Nothing can tear you apart
If you keep livin' straight from the heart
Though you know that you're gonna to hurt some
The magic will come
If you keep livin' straight from the heart
You will know when to stop and to start
Once you see that no one really wins
Then the magic begins

Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic
Bring back the magic
Don't make life so tragic

You got to bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
Bring back, bring back, bring back the magic
