Magic

Ben Folds · The Best Imitation Of Myself - A Retrospective [2011]

From the back of your big brown eyes



I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could



And I hoped you would



We could see that you weren't yourself



And the lines on your face did tell



It's just as well you'd never be yourself again



Saw you last night, dance by the light of the moon



Stars in your eyes, free from the life that you knew



You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground



You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round



Trading places with an angel now



Saw you last night, dance by the light of the moon



Stars in your eyes, free from the life that you knew



Saw you last night, stars in the sky, smiled in my room
