You wouldn't believe where I've been
The cities and towns I've been in
From Boston to Denver and every town in between

(Everyone looks the same)
The people, they all look the same (yes, the same)
Oh, only the names have been changed (just the names)
But now that I'm home again
I'm tellin' you what I believe

It's a miracle (miracle)
A true, blue spectacle, a miracle come true (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh)
We're together, baby, I was goin' crazy 'till a miracle came through
(Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now you're here and my arms are around you
And, baby, there'll be dancin' in the street

For the miracle (miracle)
A true, blue spectacle, miracle is you (who)
(Oh oh oh, whoo)

I never knew you looked so good
Oh, I never knew anyone could
I must have been crazy to ever have gone away (almost forgot ya, babe)
I almost forgot what it's like (every night)
Oh, holdin' you near me at night (every night)
But now that I'm home again, you know that I'm home to stay

'Cause it's a miracle (miracle)
A true, blue spectacle, a miracle come true (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh)
We're together, baby, I was goin' crazy 'till a miracle came through
Now you're here and I'm feelin' so good
And, baby, there'll be dancin' in the streets

For the miracle (miracle)
A true, blue spectacle, a miracle is you (who)
(Oh oh oh, whoo)

Now you're here and my arms are around you
And, baby, there'll be dancin' in the streets

Ha, there's gonna be dancin' in the streets
Gonna be dancin' in the streets

(Dancin' in the streets)
(Dancin', dancin', dancin')
(Dancin' in the streets)

(Dancin' in the streets)
(Dancin', dancin', dancin')
(Dancin' in the streets)

For a miracle
A true, blue spectacle, a miracle is you (whoo)
(Miracle is you) (whoo)
(Miracle is you) (whoo)
(Miracle is you) (whoo)
(Miracle is whoo)
