A voice came calling me late last night It spoke in the tongue of an angel But I was to weary and caught in my head I blocked out that voice with a pillow The voice was telling me come outside Come and see what the night has to show you Come and hear what the moon and stars have to say Don't throw the magic away Don't throw the magic away A boy came to visit me late last night He pulled on my sleeve to follow Into the garden we'll play hide and seek I said maybe we'll play tomorrow But tomorrow is too long a time he said Tomorrow may never arrive For the night will be over, the sun's on his way Don't throw the magic away Don't throw the magic away Then a girl came to visit me late last night She sat on my bed and whispered Come into the garden and dance for a while I've brought my dancing slippers I said my toes are too tired, my legs are too weak I've been working all day Now I'm dead on my feet She looked at me sadly, she wanted to say Daddy don't throw this magic away Don't throw the magic away Three men came to visit me late last night They'd followed a star to find me They were neither wise nor mystical travellers Nor were they the Magi They said we've come to give you the gifts that we bring If you listen we'll tell you our story But it comes at a price you're not willing to pay Don't throw the magic away Don't throw the magic away Then the voice called again to me late last night It spoke in the tongue of an angel But I was too weary and caught in my head I blocked out that voice with a pillow The voice was telling me to open my eyes Open my ears and listen To open my heart and come out to play And don't throw the magic away Don't throw the magic away
