Lonely days and lonely nights
Seeming so much longer with the phone lines
Torn between decisions wrong or right
Ooh I wish I knew the stars tonight
'cause you could look around and see
The moving pictures of my mind's eye

It's only loveit's a miracle
It's a wonder
It's only loveit's a miracle

There we meet at some forgotten point
On the streets of new york or was it london town
Maybe we were daydreaming out loud
Or maybe we nowhere
It doesn't matter now 'cause
You mean more to me than any hope or any dream
I know now

It's only loveit's a miracle
It's a wonder
It's only loveit's a miracle

When I say I miss you then I mean that I need you
When I say I need you then I mean that I miss you now

It's only loveit's a miracle
It's a wonder
It's only loveit's a miracle

It's only loveit's a miracle
It's a wonder
It's only loveit's a miracle

It's only loveit's a miracle
It's a wonder
It's only loveit's a miracle
