Every little thing she does is magic

Hey guys, how long no see you! So, here I am again.

To break the ice, a song from The Police.

The clip is old fashioned due to Anelise, but is classic due to 80's lovers, so the lyric is very romantic.

I would like my love composed that to me or just sang this to me in a love proof. What about you?

Do you have someone that makes your like magic or that simply turns anything magic around you? Who is this person? Share! Write a comment! Even in English, even in Portuguese.

Lyric:

Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As Ive done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Its a big enough umbrella
But its always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if shell marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
