Miracle - Whitney Houston

Her most underrated song? Don't U guys agree? The lyrics are so beautiful, her voice is so eloquent, and the ballad is flawless. She doesn't try to over sing, it's just perfect, but it wasn't a big hit. The song makes U feel so good inside. People don't make ballads like that anymore.

Lyrics


How could I throw away a miracle?
How could I face another day?
It's all of my doing, I made a choice
And today, I pay
My heart is full of pain

How could you understand, the way I feel?
How could you relate to so much pain?
Seems as though nothing can comfort me
So today, I pray
That someone should listen, for...

Chorus:
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours
There's a miracle in store...
Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
A voice of love is crying out
Don't throw love away
There's a miracle in store...

How could I let go of a miracle?
Nothing could ever take its place
Thought I was looking, out for myself
Now it seems the pain
Is all that I have gained
I wonder if I could be your miracle
I wonder if I could spare you pain
Seems as though nothing will comfort me
Lord, less today, I pray
That you should come listen

chorus

Don't ever throw away your miracle
Don't let it slip away
Nothing should matter

chorus


I love this fucking song...I miss U Whitney.... sad

Not my fav but has quality to it.
Was the song written to her unborn baby?

PS My fav moment is when she sings 'I wonder if I could be you miracle'.

No it wasn't, Babyface and LA had to argue with Whitney when they recorded the song because she didn't want to sing about abortions...

It's a beautiful song...I always got the feeling the song was about whether or not to have an abortion, but I never heard anything to confirm it.

U know what's funny? When I listen to it, I didn't even think about abortion, but know when I listen to it, the shit makes since. That's what she's singing about. I guess being a guy, I was clueless. Was their a video to this song?

"Nothing should matter
Not when love grows inside you
The choice is yours"

Damn, who knew? You see how diff people can take something diff from a song..I just loved the lyrics because it was somewhat uplighting.

I don't know that song. My favourite Whitney song is "For the Love of You" on the "Whitney" album. I actually think it was covered previously by another artist, but she sings it so beautifully and I nevcr understood why it was never released as a single.

It is a remake of a 1975 Isley Brothers song,and yes,Whitney's version is superb music It could have easily been a single.

Thanks for that information. I knew Whitney wasn't the original singer but she sounds great on it all the same.
