vanishing

A rabbit and a top hat, a handkerchief and ring
With the wave of a wand he'll pull your heartstrings
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
Isn't that the necklace he found behind your ear?
He's floating upside-down below a chandelier
Wishing he had the power to make you reappear
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
All the words of love he longs for you to hear
He whispers them each night into a lion's ear
Under the stage lights at the Bellagio
He has got your card but you had to fly home
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
He's a magician
Hoping, wishing
And you're the one
You're the one
You're the one vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing
You are vanishing (a rabbit and a top hat, a handkerchief and ring)
You are vanishing (the wave of the wand)
