A Crooked Stile
Press me down to common ground
I’ll not fear or protest;
carry me to highest heights
give me wings to fly;
hold my hand against the tempest
as I cling to my hearts mast,
I'll not be blown away.
Lift my face to sunny sun
twinkle in my eye;
through it all
my heart rests
assured you have given all your love;
and that is enough
for any man;
especially this one
whom you rescued
from the lost and found
with just a gentle smile;
giving me against all odds
your whole and complete trust;
and that is enough for any man.
Crippled from bumpy roads
and crooked stiles
I learned to walk again;
you took no credit then or now
for the miracle that it was;
but reflected as I was in your eyes
I once again to believe in the me there;
and unwavering you never second-guessed
even though I did.
You believed in me
and that is enough for any man.
My soul rebounded and sewed up its jagged wounds
desperate not to let you down
and a second miracle occurred
when it transformed itself
so as to be true in your eyes.
And that is enough love,
my love,
for any man.

Miracle Drug
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug

Strong Hand
(Emmylou Harris)
He was a tall man
Raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton
In a hard land Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten
But when he saw her
All those bad times were forgotten
And he believed, he believed
She was the strong hand
A good sister and a daughter
Lookin' for one man
To love the way that her mama'd taught her
And when she saw him
She thanked God for what he'd brought her She believed, she believed
And it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took my brother
For l have seen them
As they walk this world together
And i believe, l believe
It's a sad thing
When one must leave the other
And fly up where the voice rings
Out with all the multitudes that gather
But for a short while
Down here no song ever sounded sweeter
And we believed, we believed
For it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took my brother
And l will see them
Someday they'll walk again together
l believe, l believe
This l believe, l believe

Miracle
Many roads Ive travelled
And faces Ive seen
Each tells a story
Of what might have been
A missed golden moment
But life still remains
A search for the innocence
Somehow we lost on the way
And we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle is you
Now the silence that follows
The last curtain call
I dont know anyone
Who has come through it all
You gave me direction
A part in your cast
No longer make believe
Now that I know it will last
Cos we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle
And I believe my miracle
I believe my miracle
Yes I believe my miracle is you

Miracles Happen
If we just try
We can put it back together, you and i
And all the bad is blown away
I never said goodbye
Its the writing on the wall that makes you see
And its the saviour of my soul
And what I say that must be heard
With love in every word
(chorus)
Close your eyes, dont let go
Dont get lost in the falling snow
Always out of place alone
With someone youre not sure of
Broken wings, dont arrive
Its a storm but you still survive
Gonna take a miracle
So I go around believing you
Say goodnight, stay forever and
Nobody knows how much
I pray for you at night
And miracles happen...
Yesterday
There was nothing in my life worth living for
You were there when I was born
The very strength to carry on
A miracle has come
(chorus)
Hold on tight, call my name
Dont get caught in the midnight rain
Part of me believes in you
Youre someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle
And through it all we rise and fall
Tear it apart and stay forever
I know where heaven is
And somewhere in-between
Miracles happen
(bridge)
Red, blue, black and white
True light, shine on anyone
Two hearts make it right
And all that love can change
(chorus)
Close my eyes, dont let go
Ill be lost in the falling snow
Always out of place alone
With someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle
And through it all we rise and fall
We tear it apart, stay forever
I know where heaven is
And somewhere in-between
Miracles happen
Hold on tight, call my name
Dont get caught in the midnight rain
Part of me believes in you
Youre someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle...

Good morning love
Rise and shine

And I feel fine
Come watch the sun light the sky
And sip a coffee you and i
Wont you give us a kiss now

Peeking out next door
I feel like a lark sitting high up a tree
Whats just another day to one man
Is a miracle to me
My oh my its a miracle

Oh well hello sweet sanity

And thats a miracle to me
My oh my its a miracle

My oh my its a miracle
Now good morning love
And how are you
Does your old man seem
A bit too chearful to be true
Excuse me if I shed a little tear joyfully
But when your hands in my hand
Yeah when a woman really loves a man
Its a miracle to me
My oh my its a miracle
(a miracle to me)
My oh my its a miracle

Look at my life its a miracle

On The Wings Of Love
Its good to know
I love your love
Which share for way the wind blows
Our guiding light
That would shine on
Through the darkest night
When the world seems like its full of strangers
And I feel as if I lost my way
You lift me up on the wings of love
Taking me highest still with every touch
When ever im weak, honey
You take me there again
On the wings of love
Its all in me
When you hold me
And whisper tenderly
That im the one
You love forever
What else could I want
Even life where we are going changes
And when the dreams I had get swept away
You lift me up on the wings of love
Taking me highest still with every touch
When ever Im weak, honey
You take me there again
On the wings of love
(im flying high)
Its all I need when you hold me close
And you whisper tenderly
On the wings of love
Highest still with every touch
When ever im weak, honey
You take me there again
On the wings of love
You lift me up on the wings of love
Highest still with every touch
When ever Im weak, honey
You take me there again
On the wings of love
On the wings of love

Love Takes You There
(mary ann kennedy/christopher morris/john nance sharp)
In a chapel halfway across town
With a ring two hearts find common ground
A mother holds her miracle of birth
In his eyes he sees what dreams are worth
Theres places youll never find
Without love as your guide
To reach the destinations of the heart
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Takes you there
See a couple walking hand in hand
Sharing a moment only lovers can
And sitting on a greyhound all alone
A soldier with a suitcase heading home
Theres places youll never find
Without love as your guide
To reach the destinations of the heart
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Takes you there
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Only love takes you there

Miracle
Deeper than deeper was my love for you
Sweeter than sweeter joy
Hoping that every day
You can go your way
I cannot hold you down
Turning the situation round a little more
Making it look like things
Are just fine
You can go your way
Shudder to think these words were mine
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Dreamily passing by
Words sort of come and go
Wasting the time of day
I dont know
Dont you smile that way?
Smiling is all Ive got left for you
You can go your way
You can go your way
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle
Touching the place that makes it a love thing
Straight to the face, one way love would be a miracle

If You Love Someone
If you love someone
Then you trust him with your life
When you look into his eyes
‘Cos if he lets you fall
You will drown inside of them.
Like the deep dark pool in which I learned to swim
My father took my hands and told me to jump in
And I held on tight and took the plunge because I trusted him
And knew his love would hold me up and keep me safe.
If you love someone
The you trust him with your soul
When you whisper secrets in his ear
‘Cos if he breaks your trust
You will shatter into pieces.
If you love someone
Then you trust him with your heart
When you press your lips to his
‘Cos if he throws you back
You will dissolve in tears.
If you love someone
Then you trust him with your all
‘Cos if you hold something back
Then you don’t love at all.

God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You
Can this be true
Tell me can this be real
How can i put into words how i feel
My life was complete
I thought i was whole
why do i feel like i'm loosing control
Never thought that love could feel like this
and you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
theres an angel
its a miracle
CHORUS
Your love is like a river
Peacful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that i never could keep
when i look into your eyes
I know that its true
god must have spent a little more time on you
In all of creations all things great and small
you are the one that surpasses them all
more precious then any diamond or pearls
they broke the mold when you came in this world
And i'm trying hard to figure out just how i ever did without
the warmth of your smile
the heart of a child
thats deep inside
leaves me purified
CHORUS
Your love is like a river
Peacful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that i never could keep
when i look into your eyes
I know that its true
god must have spent a little more time on you
Never thought that love could feel like this
and you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
theres an angel
its a miracle
CHORUS
Your love is like a river
Peacful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that i never could keep
when i look into your eyes
I know that its true

Only A Miracle
by Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald
I've always said that I believe
Anything can happen
But lately I'd been wonderin'
If that's really true
For a boy
Time can be a lovely dance
But suddenly the music can fade
'N leave a man alone
And dreamless
Until he only sees
That he's used up all his chances
After all
Till now
Only a miracle could do
To save the man
I've turned into
Won't somebody let me know
Where's my miracle?
Love,
It always sang so easy
Just like a child who plays with
Imaginary friends
I could see
The face of someone I believed
But only in the words of a song
Then she came along
And got me dreamin'
'N that's when you began
'N when I held you
I held a miracle in my hand
Till then
Only a miracle could do
What I have finally found in you
And I gotta let you know
I believe again
Miracles can happen in the end

Miracle
Its taken much too long
To get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle
And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so youd give it all
For a miracle
Chorus
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle
You never really know
What it is
Not until it goes
And if it comes again
Its a miracle
But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all
A miracle
Chorus
All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
And all you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
Its taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle

How many stars are in the sky, Ill never know
What fire lights a firefly, Ill never know
What happens to this heart of mine each time you hold my hand
Sometimes the things we love the most
We never understand
I never thought these eyes would see an angels glow
What miracle brought you to me, Ill never know
What happens to this heart of mine each time you hold my hand
Sometimes the things we love the most
We never understand

Growing Old Together
To be like them who all would envy
To know a love that snared two hearts
To feel that love while in their presence
To wonder how such true love starts
To hear it in in their conversation
To catch it when their voices rise
To see it in her softest gesture
and in the twinkle of his eyes
To see them slowly walk together
To see him reach out for her hand
A habit born from years of caring
Is more than most can understand
To see two lives so wrapped together
Two hearts merged and so aligned
Where thoughts are shared before they're spoken
When mind and soul are intertwined
To watch them look upon each other
and know they see beyond the years
They see with eyes of two young lovers
Filled with the joy of lovers tears
All wonder where such true love started
Not coincidence, but sacrifice
God was there in their chance meeting
When two would choose to pay one price
Behind this love is certain knowledge
True love only can be won
When there's unconditional surrender
To give all for the other one.

Countin On A Miracle
Its a fairytale so tragic
Theres no prince to break the spell
I dont believe in the magic
But for you I will, for you I will
If Im a fool, Ill be a fool
Darlin for you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through
There aint no storybook story
Theres no never-ending song
Our happily ever after darlin
Forever come and gone
Im movin on
If Im gonna believe
Ill put my faith
Darlin in you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through
Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream
With her lovers kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this...
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life
Im runnin through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
Weve got no fairytale ending
In gods hands our fate is complete
Your heavens here in my heart
Our loves this dust beneath my feet
Just this dust beneath my feet
If Im gonna live
Ill lift my life
Darlin to you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through

If I Had Only Known
(jana stanfield, craig morris)
If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
Id keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder wed be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known
Id never hear your voice again
Id memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
Id never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
Id pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when youd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I wouldve shown
If I had only known

Moment In Time
there was a time i loved your face,
i loved your smile,
i loved your everything
and suddenly my world crashed in million peaces,
i hated your face, i hated your smile,
i hated your everything,
as the time passed i learned to live with it,
learned to see your face,
learned to see you smile,
yet your smile was never the same,
i know there is something missing,
that shadow over your face is something new,
but where is the shine in your eyes i used to see,
i used to love, it is not in your eyes,
that shadow stole it,
that shadow which is all over your face, what is it?
i'd like to know will i ever see a smile i loved,
or was it just a dream, a moment in time i got lost in
, and i never found way out, i tried to find it
but i know now that i'm lost forever in that short moment
, now i beg you to show me the way out
or i'll never love anyones face or any other smile
, please let me out of that prison of your eyes,
let me be free from your smile,
i need to get out i need to see the light again,
this shadows are killing me,
let me go or move the shadows away
and keep me forever locked in your smile,
in your eyes and in your heart
Higher Ground
Walk me over this situation
Let the suns light warm my face
Once again the times are changing
Once again Ive lost my way
While the words of acient poets
Fall like dust upon my shoes
Greed has grabbed me of my vision
Turned my heart from higher truths
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe, in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
I have walked too long in darkness
I have walked too long alone
Blindy clutching fist of diamonds
That I found were only stones
I would trade the wealth of ages
For a warmer hand to hold
Though the path of life is narrow
But it leads the streets of gold
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe, in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
In this world we move through shadows
Never sure of what we see
While the truth abides between us
Come and share the truth with me
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
Ooh, ooh
