That Old Black Magic

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
The Glenn Miller Orchestra

#1 week of May 29, 1943

That old black magic
has me in its spell,
That old black magic that you weave so well.
Those
icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft when your eyes
meet mine.

The same old tingle that I feel inside,
And then that
elevator starts its ride.
And down and down I go; round and round I
go
Like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.

I should stay away, but
what can I do?
I hear your name and I’m aflame.
Aflame with such a
burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire.

For you’re
the lover I have waited for,
The mate that Fate had me created for.
And
every time your lips meet mine,
Darling, down and down I go; round and round
I go
In a spin, loving the spin I’m in
Under that old black magic called
love.
