Miracle
The Moody Blues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June.
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July.
Why this hesitation?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
want to drown in the ocean of your love,
want to dance in the moonlight
Looking for a miracle
I left the city on a wave of despair
To stand on my own
On an August night.
From the valley of broken hearts
Gonna make a new start in September.
Why this confusion?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
want to walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night,
Dream about a miracle
Looking for a miracle.

Never had the chance before
To turn the tide my way.
In the heat of the summer night
You took my breath away
Looking for a miracle.

want to walk from the shadows to the sun
Just to dream on a summer night,
Dream about a miracle.
Your love is just a miracle.

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June.
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July.
Why this hesitation?
I can feel that the night is slipping away.
want to drown in the ocean of your love,
want to dance in the moonlight




Looking for a miracle.
Looking for a miracle.
