Bobby came from Memphis in 1964
Jenny came from New York City where she had pawned her soul
And they melt their hearts beneath the traffic lights
And chased some magic in the night

Me I was a stranger, troubles I had none
But I took my chances when I told my story
To the barman in the temple of love
Well it’d been so long since the last time I was crossed
By that magic in the night

Leave your prayers apart
Ain’t no use in tryin’
When there’s magic in the night

It wasn’t on the mountain or by the riverside
Or down beneath the misty cold waters in the meadows where some lovers hide
Barman told me “son, you better take that ride
And try some magic in the night”

Are you comin’ for salvation or looking for some fun?
Are you driftin’ along the valley of love?
Have you been found and lost?
I’ll hold you in these arms
Together we will call
For the magic in the night

Leave your prayers apart
Ain’t no use in tryin’
When there’s magic in the night
