LYRICS - 'What Are you Doing The Rest Of Your Life'

What are you doing the rest of your life?

North and South and East and West of your life

I have only one request of your life

That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days

All the nickels and the dimes of your days

Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days

All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light

In fields of dawn and forests of the night

And when you stand before the candles on a cake

Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes

In the world of love you keep in your eyes

I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes

It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life

Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life

All I ever will recall of my life

Is all of my life

with you

THE MAGIC IS YOU was originally recorded and released as the title song to Shirley's 1978 LP titled, 'The Magic Is You'

LYRICS - The Magic Is You:

Close, when you're close I can hear violins

and the sound of a sweet mandolin

Touch, when you touch me a new dream begins

and I'm half way through summer and spring, yeah

And suddenly there's magic in the air

A tender sort of magic that we share

An unsuspected feeling just for you and me

No words can say exactly how I feel

'Cause I'm not sure that what I see is real

Well, I guess the magic is you

Love feels my heart with each word that you say

I'm so happy that you came my way

And suddenly there's magic in the air

A tender sort of magic that we share

An unsuspected feeling just for you and me
