Lyrics
Gentle Persuader
The man in the mirror was looking alright
Going out for the evening on Saturday night
Leaving alone but looking for somebody magic
There in the corner I looked in the eyes
Of someone who certainly wasn't my type
We both looked away
But we couldn't escape from the magic
Refrain
The heart is a gentle persuader
And it doesn't much care if it's right or it's wrong
When the heart is a gentle persuader
It goes where it wants to and takes you along
For the ride, along for the ride
We dated for two weeks, the timing was right
We announced our engagement on Saturday night
It wasn't too sudden cause everyone knew it was magic
The choir director played Here Comes The Bride
The gentlemen smiled and the ladies all cried
The words made it legal
The kiss made it right, made it magic
REFRAIN
Another year older, another year wise
We sit in amazement at how the time flies
The kids are all grown up
And making their own kind of magic
A little advice on the power of love
It don't always work out but sometimes it does
So when it does you thank the moon and the stars
And the magic
REFRAIN
