I couldn't believe my eyes. The scene before me was something straight out of a fairytale. The sky was painted in hues of pink and orange as the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape. In the distance, a majestic castle stood proudly, its towers reaching towards the heavens. The air was filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees. As I walked along a path lined with vibrant flowers, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe.
Donna Summer recorded an uptempo disco version, produced by Giorgio Moroder, for her 1976 album, A Love Trilogy. The single went to #3 on the US Dance chart, #21 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, and #52 on the Hot 100. It also peaked at #4 on the UK Singles chart.
As a result, Arista Records, which had swallowed up Bell Records in a merger, re-issued Manilow s debut album as Barry Manilow I and released an edited version of Could It Be Magic as a single.

A reworked version pairing the brass and strings orchestration with new drums, bass, and synthesizers was included on Manilow's 1993 Greatest Hits: The Platinum Collection.
Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to explore further. I wandered through the castle grounds, taking in the intricate details of the architecture. Every corner seemed to hold a secret, every staircase led to a new discovery. It was like being immersed in a fantasy novel, where anything was possible. As I ventured deeper into the castle, I came across a beautiful garden. It was unlike anything I had ever seen - a haven of tranquility and beauty. The flowers were in full bloom, their vibrant colors dancing in harmony. I couldn't resist the urge to reach out and touch them, and to my surprise, they felt velvety soft, almost as if they were alive. I decided to sit on a bench in the garden, wanting to fully absorb the enchanting atmosphere. As I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my veins. It was a feeling of pure joy and exhilaration, as if the magic of this place was seeping into my very being. I couldn't help but wonder: could this be magic? Was it possible that I had stumbled upon a place where dreams come true? It seemed too incredible to be real, yet every fiber of my being told me otherwise. The sheer beauty and wonder that surrounded me was undeniable. As I left the castle grounds, a sense of longing and melancholy washed over me. I didn't want to leave this magical place behind. It had given me a taste of something extraordinary, something that transcended the ordinary. It was a reminder that there is so much more to life than what meets the eye, that there is a world of magic and possibility just waiting to be discovered. In the days that followed, I often found myself daydreaming about that enchanted castle and the mystical garden. It became my own little secret, a reminder that magic does exist if we are open to it. And while I may never fully understand the true nature of that place, I will forever be grateful for the glimpse of magic it bestowed upon me..

The world-building was intriguing but underexplored, leaving many unanswered questions. Overall, "Could this be magic" had its moments, but it failed to deliver a truly engaging and memorable reading experience.
