I believe in miracles

Where’re you from, you sexy thing, you sexy thang you

I believe in miracles since you came along, you sexy thing

Where did you come from, baby

How did you know, I needed you

How did you know I needed you so badly

How did you know I’d give my heart gladly

Yesterday I was one of the lonely people

Now your lying close to me, making love to me

I believe in miracles

Where’re you from, you sexy thing, sexy thing you

I believe in miracles

Since you came along, you sexy thing

Where did you come from, angel

How did you know I’d be the one

Did you know your everything I prayed for?

Everyday, you’d give love satisfaction

Now your lying next to me, giving it to me

Now your lying close to me giving it to me

Love the way you hold me, keep on loving me darling
