{D}I never felt magic c{Em7}razy as this
{D}I never saw moons near the m{Em7}eaning of the sea
{D}I never held the motion in the p{Em7}alm of my hand
{D}Or felt sweet breezes in the t{Em7}op of the tree

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me till I'm dead
Oh if you would and you could come grow your home on high
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw the moon neath the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Felt sweet breezes in the top of the tree
But now you're here, brighten my northern sky
