Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic hangin’ in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Love is a mystery I can’t demystify, oh, no
And sometimes I wonder why we’re here
But I don’t care, I don’t care
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic dancin’ in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Love is a mystery I can’t demystify, oh, no
Sometimes I I’m dancin’ on air
But I get scared, I get scared
When I hear the drummer, get me in the groove
When I hear the guitar, makes me wanna move
Can you feel the magic, floatin’ in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah
Sometimes you’re feelin’ you’ve been pushed around
And your rainbow just ain’t here
Don’t you fear, don’t you fear
When you hear the music trouble disappear
When you hear the music ringin’ in your ears
Can you feel the magic floatin’ in the air?
Can you hear the magic? Oh, yeah, yeah
When you hear the music ringin’ in my ear
Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
Can you hear the drummer? Gets you in the groove
Can you hear the guitar? Make you wanna move? Yeah
Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah
Can you hear the music ringin’ in my ear?
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
