One night, I was reading a bedtime story called "Little Miss Magic" to my daughter. She asked me for some milk, and on my way to the refrigerator I started snapping my fingers singing "Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic." A little while later, the first verse came out. And it stayed like that for quite a while. Sometimes songs do that to me.
Then one day the bridge arrived, and the song came back to the forefront. I lamented a while over the exact wording, and struggled with the second verse, but eventually it all came together. Of course, then the process started all over again as I began arranging and recording. And oh I love that process so.
So here it is, the product of months of stirring the pot until I finally got the right flavor. It's a far cry from the fun children's book that kicked it off, or a father-daughter song like Jimmy Buffet's of the same title you might have expected. My Little Miss Magic took a decidedly different turn, and I'm under her spell. Enjoy.
lyrics
I want to be your one and only
I want to be your man
I want to be the one you want
I want to be the only one who can make you
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
I want to be the one you think of
When you need a place to go
I want to be the one you run to
I want to be the only one who knows
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
I am trapped inside your magic spell
I stand vigil by your wishing well
I'll be the one who calls your name at night
I'll be the one who's always holding you so tight
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss
I want to be your one and only
I want to be your man
I want to be the one you want
I want to be the only one who can make you
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Magic
