Al Jarreau - Wait For The Magic Lyrics






Billy Jones is a mover
And he has a million plans
Wants to be the big improver
Wants to be a wealthy man
There are days when billy loses hope
Days when hope loses him
He prays he can just hold out
And one day he will win.

Will he wait for the magic
No, not forever
Just wait for the magic again.

College girl wakes up in Boston
And she sips her morning tea
Cup in hand she's deciding
How she wants her life to be.

Well it's been some time
Since the boy she loves
Has found the time to write.

She checks her mail
And there's nothing there
Honey, something isn't right
Will she wait for the magic
No, not forever,
Just wait for the magic again
Never look down, no no
Don't surrender
Just wait for the magic again.

Well you touch him like a master
And you fit him like a glove
And his heart keeps beating faster
Could it be this man's in love.

You may lose, you may win
Find love'll break your heart
The best you can do is take a chance
Jump in and play your part.

As you wait for the magic
No, not forever
Just wait for the magic again
Never look down, no, no
Don't surrender
Just wait for the magic again.

Never look down, no no
Don't surrender
Just wait for the magic again

[repeat]

  58. u.... b....

    my favorite al jarreau song!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

  59. R.... ....

    Really great song. I'd never heard this before a few of weeks ago, instantly liked it and "had" to do a cover since the song was stuck in my head.....sometimes music just grabs you and wont let go. Thanks for the upload.

  60. A.... J....

    Always wondered what that "This is for you, Andy." thing was all about. That was a special dedication to a dear friend that he lost along the way, and it makes me smile when I hear that (now that I know this). Still, this is one of his most gorgeous songs (well, to me it is):)

    A.... J....

    Arthur Jankins

    A.... J....

    you aren't alone, Arthur, I too think it is a beautiful song

  61. t.... ....

    He is pure deep recondite passionate surrender to music :-)

  62. m.... ....

    I have always enjoyed this song. I just didn't know that this was his song. I had thought someone else had sung it before him. Beautiful song.

  63. S.... T....

    I recorded this song in a cassette back in 1994, back then I didn´t knew the great Al Jarreau sang this song and few months ago I bought the Cd "love songs", what a pleasant surprise this beatiful song is part of that cd.

  64. R.... ....

    This is a great tune AL.

  65. a.... ....

    this is the 1st song that has impressed me and made me fall in love with Al Jarreau's songs !!

  66. m.... ....

    Yeeeeeessssss!!!! Joe Sample Piano..

  67. m.... ....

    Yeeeeeessssss!!!!

  68. A.... J....

    I can remember hearing this song on the muzak at Walmart when I worked there, always thought this song was magical . It just that ability to set your mind at ease:)

  69. M.... ....

    i fell in love with this song

  70. C.... F....

    Al Jarreau is one of the greatest vocalist I've ever heard. He imitates musical instruments with such ease. My husband, bassist Charles Fambrough, and I have listened to Al Jarreau for many years. It all just gets better and better. Keep doing what you're doing. Great Music! !

  71. M.... K....

    One Of The Greatest Musician of all Time, the way he strikes the notes, no one will ever challenge his ability, check his mouth when he sings, the way glide the work the
    the words whenever he sing. a vocal Powerhouse of our time. thanks for the Music
    Al Jarreau, your'e truly a Master of all, no wonder no one will ever try to imitate him,
    Check his Breathing between the phrases of each song, truly breathtaking.

  72. T.... M....

    beautiful, smooth, Al
