Miracles
The Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship - Starship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles (if only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles (if only you believed in miracles so would I)

I might have to move Heaven and Earth to prove it to you, baby (baby)
So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power
And there's really nothing we can't do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars, it was so easy

(Oh baby)
All we got to do is get a little faith in you
Whoa, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)
I know that love is the answer (yes it is)
Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)
Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better? (Nothing's better)
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell, it's the same everywhere (just the same now)
Nothing ever breaks up the heart (love's a game now)
Only your tears give you away (ain't it a shame now)

When you're right where I found you (oh baby)
With my arms around you (oh baby)
Baby, baby
Love is a magic word, ooh, yeah, few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I see you and I have but one heart
Only our bodies were apart (it's making me crazy)
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world (just a drop of it)
When I went down on you, girl, oh

If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (if only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (if only you believed in miracles so would I)

I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me
(Never say never)
I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me (whenever, whenever you walk with me)
You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)
Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)
Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)
Oh baby in a love song, aw baby
(Love song) aw baby (love song) aw baby (love song)
Oh yeah, yeah, alright
Baby, we're sure doin' it tonight (baby, we're sure doing it)

Every time you come by let me try (come on by)
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, uh
I can't even believe it with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
(Dream of a lifetime) come true
I picked up your vibes, you know (I'm having a fine time)
It opened my mind but I'm still dreaming
Yeah (yeah, oh)
And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you (oh baby)

If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (if only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles (if only you believed in miracles so would I)
So would I
So would I

If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles (if only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby (if only you believe like I believe)




We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles (if only you believed in miracles so would I)

The year this song came out was the year my wife died after a two year fight with cancer leaving me , a 22 year old with a 2 year old daughter. My daughter is 50 now , she's amazing. We sorta grew up together. God is good, I know where she is. She came to me in a dream not so long ago and she was perfect and she's waiting on me. Praise the lord

@anthonytipton5960

Thank you, Jesus. Praise His Holy Name. She walked with Him back through her life. He never discounts love like yours. You both will be together again. I believe it to be so.

This song was popular and played on the radio when my high school boyfriend picked me up for school. I loved him and for over 2 years we dated. 1977 we broke up and found each other in 2010. Been together ever since. Married 5 years ago. Its a miracle!❤

@lamann2437
