Miracle
Whitney Houston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could I throw away a miracle
How could I face another day
It's all of my doing
I made a choice
And today I pay
My heart is full of pain
How could you understand
The way I feel
How could you relate to so much pain
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today I pray
That someone should listen for

[Chorus]
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store

How could I let go of a miracle
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking
Out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Less today I pray
That you should come listen

[Chorus]

Don't ever throw away your miracle
Don't let it slip away
Nothing should matter





[Chorus]

The 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' album was one of my favourite from Whitney. Of course you could hear 'Babyface's creativity on the project. Oh wish, I had seen her on that tour. Fast forward to the 'The Bodyguard' ..wow!.
