Once in a lifetime, you find that power
To break out and run from the devil's deep clutch.
All that you need, it's the finest hour,
Is to believe in the Magic Touch.
[ Chorus ]
A thief in the night, love steals you far away.
A thief in the night, love takes your breath away.
Can't believe it, like no other.
Love is a gift and to take you so much,
You need the blue night to discover
Only true lovers have the Magic Touch.
Once in a lifetime, you find that faith,
When you're under the spell and it takes control.
Everything 'round you just falls in place,
And all that you touch seems to turn to gold.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
