This Magic Moment

Lyrics

This magic moment, so different and so new
Was like any other until I kissed you
And then it happened, it took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too, by the look in your eyes

I found myself in the "magic moment" with my grade school crush in 2004. We honestly had our first kiss under the midnight night sky of ALL white clouds illuminated by the light of the moon and single star(I am NOT kidding) What a very enchanting night for me and probably him too.... I NEVER WILL FORGET THAT NIGHT. I still play that night in my head at least once a wk.....*smil i n g *
Sandlot!!!

Squints paladoris!!L o l boy I love the sandlot!
After the divorce, the judge gave custody of the song to Ben E....but the rest of the drifters got visiting rights...whe n Ben E re-grouped, the step-singers didn't get along very well with the song so.....(I Dood It anna I Dona Get It)
This is the Drifters, not just Ben E. King.
