23° km - You can do Magic

America - America Live (1977)

Erano ancora i tempi dei Morgan Studios, dove magari c'erano un bel paio di Rogers mentre registravano uno dei loro ultimi pezzi con la mitica Capitol Records anche se ormai la musica era già abbastanza americana ma il punto è:

You can have anything that you desire

che sia il ventitreesimo km o qualsiasi altra cosa

I never believed in things that I couldnt see
I said if I cant feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldnt believe it, you took my heart
I couldnt retrieve it, said to myself
Whats it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And when the rain is beatin upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I cant sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And if I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now its so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
Youre the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

Youre the one who can put out the fire
Youre the one who can put out the fire
Youre the one who can put out the fire ...
