[Verse 1]
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I'd always regret

[Verse 2]
A few minutes later
You'd have been out that door
I'd have been lonely forever more
Forever more

[Bridge]
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Nature's mother knew it
Only too well

[Verse 3]
She reached out her fingers
To point at the sky
Leaving me helpless
Not knowing why

[Verse 3]
And this is the hour
That they turn out the light
Nothing but memories
Burning so bright
Burning so bright

[Bridge]
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Nature's mother knew it
Only too well

[Verse 1]
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I'd always regret
Always regret

[Outro]
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
There must have been magic the night that we met

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
