Miracle To Me

Miracle To Me is off Lions and I can't believe it but I've been listening to Lions a lot lately! A friend just sent me a bunch of rarities and unreleased TBC and for some reason, there were some really great Lions gems so here I am! One note of housekeeping before I talk about Miracle To Me though -- I am still working on my reviews of Vegas and my two GLORIOUS nights at the Fillmore so I promise you will have them soon! But, back to Miracle To Me: it's been played 61 times live, mostly on the Lions tour.

I'm actually surprised that I never got into Miracle To Me before-- it really is right up my alley. That is, Miracle To Me is another one of those honest, heart-breaking, soul-searching, pretty ballads that I typically love from TBC. In fact, this line is maybe one of my favourites, ever: Tell me why have you been crying / Why won't you look me in the eye. There is just something in Chris's voice when he sings those lines . . . it almost makes me tear up. But, really, all of the lyrics are gorgeous . . . and I'm beginning to "get" Lions? Stranger things have happened!

Also check out the original video below . . . ummmmmmmmmm so glad Chris got over that phase!

Come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
Well I've got something to tell you
Your secrets I will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why won't you look me in the eye
I'm just trying to help you
And I just need to know why
Please won't you let me try

Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, baby be my friend
Be a miracle to me

Want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind your smile I keep
Head over heels I go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
This time I know I'm in deep

Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, baby be my friend
Be a miracle to me
