Cécile, we are lucky to live in your time. Thank you.

The question is not: if it's magic...because IT IS magic 😍

[francescosivelli]

If it's magic...
Then why can't it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets in this rhyme
Like the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing...
Then why can't it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

So...
If it's special
Then with it why aren't we as careful
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

So...
If it's magic...
Why can't we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone

I dunno who listens to this and gives it a thumbs down but those 15 people are wrong, this is absolutely gorgeous and lovely and poignant and I sat here in my car and cried. So glad my local indie radio station played it here in Yuma, Arizona. "If it's magic, why can't we make it everlasting, like the lifetime of the sun, leaves every heart undone, for there's enuf for everyone."

[denialawareness]

Wonderful - especially to see an all-woman JAZZ group. Don't get that every day!

[JonErikKellso]

Beautiful. Thanks, I needed that. Healing.

[TalkingBook]

You guys really hit it out of the park. This cover made me emotional, as the original always does. Bravo

[roblukow]

Heard this on the radio what a beautiful song.

12/8/2020 - Feels like I'm floating in the universe
12/10/2020 - Feels like I'm a character in a children's book but the book was closed, and the characters keep living.
12/18/2021 - I totally forgot about these comments… This now feels like a tiny universe inside a universe like imagining a whole other world inside a flower… Also I’d like to add that I’m in whole different season of my life and I’m doing much better than in 2020… If you’re reading this keep going! <3
