Miracles Lyrics


If only you believe like I believe, baby, like I believe,
We'd get by.
If only you believe in Miracles, so would I.
If only you believe in miracles, so would I.

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby.

So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power.
And there's really nothing we can('t) do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars, it was so easy.

(Oh Baby)
All we got to do is get a little faith in you.

Woah, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)

I know that love is the answer (yes it is)

Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)

Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better?(Nothing's better!)

And all the answers to our prayers,
Hell, it's the same everywhere. (just the same now)

Nothing ever breaks up the heart(love's a game now)
only your tears give you away (Ain't it a shame now).

When you're right where I found you(oh baby)
with my arms around you. (oh baby)

Baby, baby.
Love is a magic word if you ever find inner life

But from that very first look in your eyes
I see you and I have but one
heart.

Only our bodies were apart (it's making me crazy)
That was so easy, so easy.

I had a taste of the real world (Just a drop of it)
When I went down on you, girl, oh.

I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me

(Never say never)

I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me

You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)
Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)
Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)

Oh baby in a love song, aw baby
Oh yeah, yeah, alright
Baby we're sure doin' it tonight

Every time you come by let me try (come on by)
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, ugh.

I can't even believe it with you

It's like having every dream I ever wanted
(Dream of a lifetime) come true.

I picked up your vibes, you know (I'm having a fine time)
It opened my mind but I'm still dreaming.

Yeah (sarcastic Grace mini-orgasm)
And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you! (oh baby).

Miracles Song Chart
  • Jefferson Airplane founder/vocalist Marty Balin wrote this song. He quit the group in 1971, only to rejoin in 1975, before this album was made.
  • The album version is nearly seven minutes long, but was edited down for radio airplay by their producer Larry Cox, who made sure the radio edit got right to the chorus. Some of the suggestive lyrics were also removed, an action uncharacteristic of Jefferson Airplane. Cox, who had worked with Buddy Holly and Brian Wilson, told Melody Maker in 1976: "I cut the chorus in half and dealt with three verses of lyric which I wanted to preserve. Every verse was extremely important. I applaud the group for making the concession and allowing me to edit the tune down for radio play."
  • Red Octopus was the only #1 album Jefferson Airplane/Starship ever had, largely thanks to this ballad. The album sold more than four million copies.
  • A hit song can be an albatross for a band if it takes them in a direction they'd rather not go, and the very Middle-of-the-Road sound of "Miracles" didn't sit well with Grace Slick, who told BAM magazine in 1980: "All of that 'baby come back to me' stuff was us trying to copy 'Miracles.' We'd never been a real hot singles band. So, when 'Miracles' hit, it was all of a sudden 'better stick with that s--t.' But I felt odd doing it, felt like I was wearing a costume, a monkey suit or something."
