Lyrics :

In my life
I've seen sorrow
Heartache and pain
I've been burned by the sunshine
Been drowned in the pouring rain
Had too many lovers
And not enough love
I've been tried and convicted
For things I'm not guilty of
I was locked in a prison
Till you came and set me free
So how can you say
You're no good for me

Chorus :

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now,now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stacks the dice against you
In a game you never can win
Just when I was thinking
Maybe luck was here with me
You tell me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free

Chorus x 1

I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me let go
But my heart keeps asking how

Guitar Solo :

There's no prizes for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse

Chorus x 2

The Magic has gone ... Joe Cocker has gone ... BUT... his songs will remain !!

[cydneywaynedavis]

I am broken hearted to learn that John Miles who wrote this song for Joe Cocker and is also playing the guitar solo as well as doing background vocals has passed away. I am the backup singer to the left of the screen, Cydney Davis, and I remember when John Miles first played this song for me on the tour bus. I loved it then and still love it now. He said, "I want to pitch it Joe. What do you think, Cyd?" I told him that I could hear Joe Cocker singing this but that he should also record it for himself as an artist. After Joe Cocker recorded this song we performed it in our live shows. John taught us the background and sang the parts with us and we had an amazing sound. The audience loved it.

However, John Miles also recorded his own version of NOW THAT THE MAGIC HAS GONE and I was thrilled to sing background on his recorded version of this masterpiece. We had a blast in the studio.

I have nothing but love and gratitude for JOHN MILES. The last time I saw him was many years ago when he was on tour with Tina Turner and they performed at the Greek Theatre here in Los Angeles. We hung out backstage and shared our memories of working with the legendary Joe Cocker. I had no idea that would be my last time seeing him. I truly thought our paths would cross again.

I am heartbroken for his family, friends and fans. His exceptional talent as a musician, singer and songwriter is truly remarkable. When he joined the Cocker band he arranged our vocals on the song "When the Night Comes." He put me on the top note and really pushed me to sing full voice. He joined his voice with mine and the other backup singer, Maxine Sharpe, and true magic happened. The vocal sound was so rich and full and BIG. That's John Miles. A master of Music.

My heart is so full right now with both sadness and joy. I am blessed to have shared the stage and blended my voice with such a BRILLIANT artist. God Bless you JOHN MILES. May your legacy continue through your music. R. I. P JOHN MILES

Joe Cocker & John Miles playing Now the Magic has gone and in my mind I fly to 1992, and the magic never goes

[andreyzhidenkov]

This is really one of the best songs I've ever heard. Joe Cocker is the only one singer whose covers are better than originals.

[pablos]

Some times I ask my self, whats the feeling to play guitar like this, and like all other my guitar heroes, it will always gonna be enigma for me.

[vasmas]

Эта легенда будет жить вечно в нашей памяти.

[pikogmail]

He's f*ckin' dead but still killin' me with this song ... God bless you Joe. It was worth livin' this life just to hear you singin' ... Let your soul R.I.P.

[raymondsarvarian]

Joe Cocker the greatest vocal range ever

[nikosfunk]

What a great song ... Unfortunately in the people no longer with us from this band Joe Cocker, John Miles also Phil Grande was added in the gone but not forgotten list in 2019. Rest in peace to all those people and a big thank you for the music you left as legacy.

Джо Кокер - "Теперь, когда волшебство ушло"

В своей жизни я видел горе,
Сердечную боль и страдание.
Меня обжигало солнечным светом
И я тонул в ливне.

У меня было так много любовниц
И мало любви.
Меня судили и обвиняли в том,
В чем я не виноват.

Я был заперт в тюрьме
Пока ты не пришла и не освободила меня.
Так как ты можешь говорить,
Что не хороша для меня?

Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Ты хочешь просто уйти,
Ничего не сказав, в любом случае
Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Нет смысла цепляться за него,
Милая, теперь, когда волшебство прошло.

Ты знаешь, любовь бывает нежной,
Любовь может быть жестокой.
Она может улыбаться, как ангел,
И обращаться с тобой, как с дураком.

Она захватывает и преследует тебя,
Пока ты не сдашься.
Она подтасовывает карты
В игре, которую тебе никогда не выиграть.

Только когда я подумал, что
Удача, возможно, здесь со мной,
Ты говоришь, что все кончено,
Говоришь, что пора расстаться.

Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Ты хочешь просто уйти,
Ничего не сказав, в любом случае
Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Нет смысла цепляться за него,
Милая, теперь, когда волшебство прошло.

Я не хочу пытаться удержать тебя,
Мой разум говорит мне: "Пусть идет".
Но сердце продолжает спрашивать: "Почему?"

Нет наград для проигравших,
Только победитель возьмет приз.
Кое-кто говорит, что любовь — благословение.
По мне, так она просто проклятие.

Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Ты хочешь просто уйти,
Ничего не сказав, в любом случае
Теперь, когда волшебство прошло,
Нет смысла цепляться за него,
Милая, теперь, когда волшебство прошло.

Теперь, когда волшебство прошло .
