A little magic

It's funny how things come back to you. I only realized recently that some killer lines from some emails were specifically selected lyrics. I spent a night googling them and being blown away. (Boo, see why I understand?) Today, in my office solitude (there is now a playlist on my iPod with that title, featuring all the songs from that post), I heard a request for a song by The Police, "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic".

Where have I heard that before?

I remembered, I Googled it, I smiled. Maybe I'm reading too much into things, because after all, someone's words just MIGHT have been coincidentally sung by someone else. But I'd like to believe some people are too smart for that to be a coincidence so often.

Though Ive tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've 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
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's 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 she'll 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
...

You echo even when you've said nothing.
