There Was Magic, Then
When I was a girl, I dreamt of dancing
I dreamt of many things the heart could hold
I'd nurse my doll, would love and care for him
Would breathe life into him
For I believed
The world was grand with many precious things
Fine air, such precious things
It was my world
The wind would blow wild with imaginings
I was so happy in my little world
For the days were long in the summertime
With the sweetest taste in the summertime
There were secrets made in the summertime
There was magic...
Now I have grown and life is kind to me
I have some misery but don't we all?
Our path is so long that many lose their way
Longing with everyday for what went wrong?
For the days were long in the summertime
With the sweetest taste in the summertime
There were secrets made in the summertime
There was magic...
Below the sky, lost children find their way
Weaving through life's highway through joy, through pain
When summer has gone darkness can swallow you
And happy times once new
Will fade to grey
Yet, if my dreams were to all burn today
I wouldn't run away, call me a fool
For I believe
And if I never see
If it's denied to me, quite lost I'd say
Oh the days were long in the summertime
With the sweetest taste in the summertime
There were secrets made in the summertime
There was magic...
Oh the days were long in the summertime
With the sweetest taste in the summertime
There were secrets made in the summertime
There was magic
Havia Magia, Depois
Quando eu era menina, sonhava em dançar
Sonhava com muitas coisas que o coração poderia guardar
Cuidava da minha boneca, amava e zelosamente a tratava
Dava vida a ela
Pois eu acreditava
Que o mundo era grandioso com muitas coisas preciosas
Um ar fino, coisas tão valiosas
Era o meu mundo
O vento soprava forte com imaginações
Eu era tão feliz no meu pequeno mundo
Pois os dias eram longos no verão
Com o gosto mais doce do verão
Havia segredos feitos no verão
Havia magia...
Agora cresci e a vida é boa pra mim
Tenho algumas tristezas, mas quem não tem?
Nosso caminho é tão longo que muitos se perdem
Ansiando a cada dia pelo que deu errado?
Pois os dias eram longos no verão
Com o gosto mais doce do verão
Havia segredos feitos no verão
Havia magia...
Sob o céu, crianças perdidas encontram seu caminho
Tece pela estrada da vida, entre alegria e dor
Quando o verão se vai, a escuridão pode te engolir
E os tempos felizes, outrora novos
Desvanecem em cinza
Ainda assim, se meus sonhos queimassem todos hoje
Eu não fugiria, me chame de tola
Pois eu acredito
E se eu nunca ver
Se me for negado, eu diria que estou bem perdida
Oh, os dias eram longos no verão
Com o gosto mais doce do verão
Havia segredos feitos no verão
Havia magia...
Oh, os dias eram longos no verão
Com o gosto mais doce do verão
Havia segredos feitos no verão
Havia magia...
