Lyrics
Welcome to the night and you will see
You’ve got the magic power
I am on my way I keep the key
To your tower
You can serve me something really hot
Call it love or madness
But you’ll get the best of what I’ve got

Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Your loving potion
Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Over me

Baby you can put your spell on me
Making it slow and steady
Maybe I can solve your mystery
Are you ready
We are standing closely skin to skin
Playin’ a very old game
But the game called love you always win

Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Your loving potion
Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Over me

So you work your magic
Baby work your magic
Keep my heart forever bound

Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Your loving potion
Work your magic
I never wanna lose this feeling
I am able and I’m willing
Yes, I’m willing
Work your magic
You set my beating heart in motion
When you cast your loving potion
Over me

She had a handsome little boy with a striking resemblance to the Princess, who from early childho od exhibited phenomenal abilities in music, literature and even science.

In 2002 Koldun was majoring in chemistry at the Belarusian State University, but felt himself being pulled towards the world of entertainment and show business. He decided that music and singing is what he wants to do with his life.
