I wish we had a magic carpet
Together we could fly
We could sail away forever
And let the world go on by

If I had Aladdin’s lantern,
Here’s what I would do
I would gently, gently rub it
And make your dreams come true.

But I don’t have a magic carpet
And magic lamps are hard to find
I can’t conjure up a secret potion
To steal your heart and make you mine.

All I’ve got is a four leaf clover
It’s my only good luck charm
And I get a magic feeling all over
When I’m lying in you arms.
