Subject: Lyr Req: It's a Miracle (Peter Krug) From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Mar 14 - 03:36 AM I wondered if somebody could post the lyrics to "It's a Miracle," a sweet little song by Peter Krug that was recorded by Faith Petric on her Faith's Favorites CD. It appeared in Volume 33, #3, of Sing Out! Magazine - that's from sometime in the 1980s, and I don't have the magazines from that decade. Thanks. -Joe- I think I have the chorus right:
It's a miracle that the breezes blow, It's a miracle that the rivers flow forever to the sea; It's a miracle that the rain comes down It's a miracle that the world turns round But the finest miracle I ever have found Is the miracle of you and me. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: It's a Miracle (Peter Krug) From: Jim Dixon Date: 12 Mar 14 - 11:47 AM It was also in issue 182 of "Broadside: The Topical Song Magazine" (which is indexed at SingOut.org). [Funny—the song doesn't strike me as "topical."] Sally Rogers sang it on her album "Peace by Peace" (1991). You can hear a sample at her website, from which I transcribed this: Early in the mornin' when I open my eyes, And I see the dawn spread across the skies, Just no way I can ever deny That it's a miracle. (It's a miracle.) Outside my window birds are singin'. Tree to tree I see them wingin', And ev'ry new moment is sure to be bringin' A miracle. It's a miracle that the flowers grow. It's a miracle.... [You can also purchase and download the song there for $0.99.] There are several other songs with the same title. |

Subject: ADD: It's a Miracle (Peter Krug) From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Jan 21 - 01:59 PM IT'S A MIRACLE (Peter Krug, 1987) Early in the morning when I open my eyes And I see the dawn spread across the skies, There's just no way I can ever deny It's a miracle. Outside my window birds are singing, Tree to tree I see them winging, And every new moment is sure to be bringing A miracle. CHORUS It's a miracle that the flowers grow, It's a miracle that the breezes blow, It's a miracle that the rivers flow forever to the sea. It's a miracle that the rain comes down, It's a miracle that the world turns round, And the finest miracle I ever have found Is the miracle of you and me. You can see it in the wings of butterflies, You can see it in children's eyes, So many little things make you realize It's a miracle. When summer turns to winter And the spring rolls round, And little green things poke out of the ground, Every little piece of magic that you ever have found Is a miracle. CHORUS People who run for the dollar bill, The shiny long car or the house on the hill, They never seem to notice that the world is filled With miracles. Down in your chest your heart is thumping, Through your body your blood is pumping, Being alive, now ain't that something? It's a miracle. CHORUS Now in a world of war and hate and killing, I can understand why some aren't willing To look at life as a grand and thrilling Miracle. But with all the suffering and all the pain, And all the dreams that are dreamed in vain, People get back up and try again — Now that's a miracle. CHORUS
