It's Magic
Enchanting Love Revealed: Tony Bennett's 'It's Magic' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Why do I tell myself these things that happen
Contemplating why the narrator convinces themselves of certain occurrences.
Are all really true
Questioning the truthfulness of these happenings.
When in my heart I know
Acknowledging an awareness in the heart that the true magic lies in the narrator's love for someone.
The magic is my love for you
Emphasizing that the magic referred to earlier is the love the narrator feels for the person.
You sign the song begins
Noting the start of a magical experience with the mention of a song.
You speak and I hear violins, it's magic
Describing the magical quality of the person's voice, evoking the sound of violins.
The stars, desert the skies
Portraying a surreal scene where stars leave the skies to gather in the person's eyes.
And rush to nestle in your eyes, it's magic
Continuing to highlight the enchantment as celestial bodies respond to the person's presence.
Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Expressing that magical experiences occur without traditional magical elements.
Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms
Linking fantastic occurrences to being in the arms of the person.
When we walk hand in hand
Depicting the world transforming into a wonderland when the narrator and the person walk hand in hand.
The world becomes a wonderland, it's magic
Reiterating the enchanting nature of the world in the presence of the person.
How else can I explain those rainbows
Pondering the magical explanation for rainbows even when there's no rain.
When there ain't no rain, it's magic
Highlighting the mystical and inexplicable nature of the described magical occurrences.
Why do I tell me myself
Repeating the questioning of self about the truth of certain events.
These things that happen are all really true
Reiterating the doubt about the reality of these occurrences.
When in my heart
Reaffirming the knowledge in the heart that the true magic lies in the love for the person.
I know the magic is my love for you
Stressing that the narrator's love is the real source of magic.
Magic, magic, magic, magic
Repeatedly emphasizing the magical quality of the experience.
