"Now That The Magic Has Gone" lyrics - JOHN MILES

In my life I've seen sorrow, heartache and pain.
I've been burned by the sunshine
Been drowned in the pouring rain
Had too many lovers but not enough love.
I've been tried and convicted
Of things I'm not guilty of.
I was locked in a prison till you came and set me free.
So, how can you tell me, baby, that you're no good for me?

Now that the magic has gone,
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
There's no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.

You know love can be tender, love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel while it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you until you give in
Then it stacks the dice against you in a game you never can win.
Just when I was thinking Lady Luck was here with me
You tell me: "It's over baby". Say: "It's time for breaking free".

Now that the magic has gone,
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
You know there's no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.
I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me to let go
But my heart keeps asking how.

There's no prizes for the loser,
Only the winner takes the purse.
Some say that love's a blessing
But to me it's just a curse.

Now that the magic has gone,
Oh baby, you just wanna walk away
Got nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone,
You know there's no, no sense in holding on.
Baby now, now that the magic has gone.
Now that the magic has gone.
