Lyrics

You wouldn’t believe where I’ve been
The city and towns I been in
From Boston to Denver
And every town in between

The people they all look the same
Only the names have been changed
But now that I’m home again
I’ll tell you what I believe

It’s a miracle
A true blue spectacle
A miracle come true
We’re together ,baby-I was goin’ crazy
’till the miracle
Came through
Now you here,and my arms are around you
And baby, there’ll be
Dancin in the streets
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you

I never knew you look so good
I never knew any one could
I must have been crazy
To ever had gone away

I almost for got what it’s like
Holdin’ you near me at night
But now that I’m home again
You know that I’m home to stay

Cause’ its a miracle
A true blue spectacle
A miracle come true
We’re together baby-I was goin crazy
’till the miracle came through
Now you here and I’m feelin so good
And baby there’ll be
Dancin in the streets
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you

Now you here and my arm’s are around you
And baby the’ll be dancing in the street
There’s going to be dancing in the street
Dancing in the street

Dancin, dancin, dancin, dancin
Dancin in the street
Dancin, dancin, dancin in the street
For the miracle
A true blue spectacle
The miracle is you
Hey the miracle is you
The miracle is you
