Just close (G)those big eyes, and (D)think all the won der ful (G)thoughts that a rise.

And ba by, if you (G)dream it just right, your (D)toes will be o ver the (G)tree tops to night, and (Em)you’ll be (F#m7)fly ing, and from (Gmaj7)there you can (F#m7)see how the (A)mag ic’s in you and the mag ic’s in me.

If you be lieve in mag ic,
