Lyrics

Do you be (G)lieve in mag ic in a (F)young girl’s heart?

How the (C)mu sic can free her when (F)ev er it starts?

And it’s mag ic if the (F)mu sic can move you, and (C)hold you so tight that it (F)nev er can lose you.

Your (Dm)feet start (Em7)tap ping and you (Fmaj7)can’t seem to (Em7)find if it’s (G)real ly real or just a state of mind.

Do you be lieve in mag ic?

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

And And ba by, if you (F)dream it just right, you, your (C)toes will be o ver the (F)tree tops to night, you.

and (Dm)you’ll be (Em7)fly ing, and from (Fmaj7)there you can (Em7)see how the (G)mag in you and the mag state of mind.

Do you be lieve in mag ic’s in me.

If you be lieve in mag ic, come a (F)long with me; we’ll (C)dance un til morn ing, ’til it’s (F)just you and me.

And ba by, if the (F)mu sic is right, I’ll (C)meet you to mor row so late at night.

And (Dm)we’ll go (Em7)danc ing, ba by, and you’ll see how the (G)mag ic’s in the mu sic and the mu sic’s in me.

Be (F)lieve in the (Em7)mag ic of a (F)young girl’s soul.

Be (F)lieve in the (Em7)mag ic of (F)rock and roll.

Be (F)lieve in the (Em7)mag ic that can set you free.

(G7)Oh.

Dream on, dream on, dream on.

Dream on, ev ’ry bod y.

Dream on, dream on, dream on.

Dream on, ev ’ry bod y.
