Magic Hour from American Dream by Sons Of New York
“If you can refer to a song as farm to table, not in the sense of the instrumentation or the recording process, but just from the standpoint of simple, organic and honest songwriting, then Magic Hour is the most organic song I’ve ever written. For many months after I wrote it I would feel the urge to sit at the piano and sing it. It made me feel better when I did. To me there’s something timeless and emotionally recognizable about this song. Something about the refuge of home and the love for those with whom you share it.” Roger Campo

Lyrics
MAGIC HOUR – Written by Roger Campo / ASCAP
When the sun has set - Before the light is gone
There’s an hour – That’s thirty minutes long
Past the light of day - Before the dark of night
There’s a moment - When the whole world feels right
Meet me in the magic hour
Let your hair down in the soft light
Meet me in the magic hour
Let me hold you all through the night
Though these days are long - And the road is hard
And we’ve come so many miles - But we didn’t get far
Know the night brings mercy - Yes there’s mercy to be found
We’ll find refuge, When the sun goes down
Meet me in the magic hour
Let your hair down in the soft light
Meet me in the magic hour
Let me hold you all through the night
The light is fading - But you know my love is strong
My heart is calling - Please don’t let her go
Come take my hand - Cause you take my away
We’ll slow dance - And let the music play
The night is calling
Oh baby can you meet me
Meet me in the magic hour
Let your hair down in the soft light
Meet me in the magic hour
Let me hold you all through the night
Let me hold you all through the night
Let me hold you all through the night
