Miracle to Me Lyrics

So come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
I've got something to tell you
Your secret I will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why won't you look me in the eye
I'm just trying to help you
I just need to know why
Please won't you let, let me try

(Chorus)
Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, be my friend
Be a miracle to me

I want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind your smile I keep
Head over heels I go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
This time I know I'm in deep

(Chorus 2x)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

There is something uniquely delicate about the relationship. I don't know if the secrecy is because the relationship is forbidden (doctor/patient?), taboo (student/teacher?), or just an awkward situation between friends, but things are better off kept between them.

Obviously the second person ("you") in the song is very troubled based on the first two verses, and I think that might be the attraction, hence the maintenance of secrecy. The first person ("I") knows how difficult continuing the relationship will be (note the hints that the second person is pushing the first away), so that is where the miracle comes in: the perseverance of the relationship itself would be miraculous. The first person wants the second to be that miracle that keeps it going.

Like I said, it sounds like a uniquely delicate relationship.
