Now That the Magic Has Gone - Joe Cocker

In my life

I've seen sorrow

Heartache and pain

I've been burned by the sunshine

Been drowned in the pouring rain

Had too many lovers

And not enough love

I've been tried and convicted

For things I'm not guilty of

I was locked in a prison

Till you came and set me free

So how can you say

You're no good for me

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say, anyway

Now that the magic has gone

There's no sense in holding on

Baby now, now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender

Love can be cruel

It can smile like an angel

While it treats you just like a fool

It captures and haunts you

Until you give in

And it stacks the dice against you

In a game you never can win

Just when I was thinking

Maybe luck was here with me

You tell me it's over

Say it's time for breaking free

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say, anyway

Now that the magic has gone

There's no sense in holding on

Baby now, now that the magic is gone

I won't try to hold you down

My mind tells me let go

But my heart keeps asking how

There's no prizes for the loser

Only the winner takes the purse

Some say that love is a blessing

But to me it's just a curse

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say, anyway

Now that the magic has gone

There's no sense in holding on

Baby now that the magic is gone

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say
