Dwight Twilley Band – Looking for the Magic (1977)

Twilley Don’t Mind is the second album from the Dwight Twilley Band, recorded and released in 1977 on Shelter Records, distributed at the time by Arista Records. The band consisted of Dwight Twilley (guitar, piano, lead and harmony vocals), Phil Seymour (drums, bass, percussion, lead and harmony vocals), and Bill Pitcock IV (lead guitar, bass). The original album credited production to Oister, which was the original name of the Dwight Twilley Band, and Bob Schaper; later reissues have credited production directly to Twilley, Seymour and Schaper.

All my life I’m looking for the magic
I’ve been looking for the magic
Fantasize on a silly little tragic
I’ve been looking for the magic
In my eyes

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, I’m
Looking for the magic in my eyes
In my eyes
Baby in my eyes

Only child is a silly little ragged
She’s been looking for the magic
Stay awhile til the city is a desert
She’s been looking for the treasure
In my eyes

Because a photograph is
Like an hourglass out of time
And then I never laughed
Because I never had no time

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, I’m
Looking for the magic in my eyes
In your eyes
Baby in your eyes
