I dreamed my dreams in blues and grays
And happy, timeless yesterdays
The blues in C and Lady Day
Ellington and Hemingway
Candlelight and Courvoisier
Where did the magic go?
I loved the age when movies stars
And fancy furs and foreign cars
Spencer playing Katherine's beau
Bogie in a gangster role
Fred and Ginger dancing slow
Where did the magic go?
Where did the magic go, my friend
Since that lovely time
When Rogers found the melody
And Hart made up the rhyme
Walking miles through the snow
To hold that one girl's hand
When life was all illusion—
All illusion grand
But now there's too much empty space
Too little style, too little grace
Louis's sound cannot be found
Bert and Tatum aren't around
And who remember's Dorsey's sound
Where did the magic go?
And happy, timeless yesterdays
The blues in C and Lady Day
Ellington and Hemingway
Candlelight and Courvoisier
Where did the magic go?
I loved the age when movies stars
And fancy furs and foreign cars
Spencer playing Katherine's beau
Bogie in a gangster role
Fred and Ginger dancing slow
Where did the magic go?
Where did the magic go, my friend
Since that lovely time
When Rogers found the melody
And Hart made up the rhyme
Walking miles through the snow
To hold that one girl's hand
When life was all illusion—
All illusion grand
But now there's too much empty space
Too little style, too little grace
Louis's sound cannot be found
Bert and Tatum aren't around
And who remember's Dorsey's sound
Where did the magic go?
