About The Song
“The Miracle of Love” is an electropop ballad recorded by British duo Eurythmics. It was written by Eurythmics members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. The track was released as the third single from the duo’s sixth album Revenge in the UK. It was not released as a single in the United States.
The music video was directed by band member David A. Stewart. The grainy video shows Lennox and Stewart separately in darkened room surrounded only by candles followed by a shot of Lennox against a tree while historical footage of military violence is shown. The video ends with an extreme close-up of Lennox as she wanders around a park before acknowledging the camera by winking, smiling and laughing. The cover art for the single is a screenshot from this scene. The music features a soaring guitar solo by Stewart, reprising the melody of the opening bars.
The song became a modest hit on the UK Singles Chart but reached the top 20 in Australia, Brazil and parts of Europe. In a review of Revenge, Glenn O’Brian of Spin magazine called it “a miraculous love song that is heavenly, seductive, sweeping, anodynamic, and straightforwardly, blatantly healing.”

Lyrics
How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That’s covering your mind?
I’ll show you something good
Oh, I’ll show you something good
When you open your mind, you’ll discover the sign
That there’s something you’re longing to find
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
Cruel is the night that covers up your fears
Tender is the one that wipes away your tears
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously
But I’ll show you something good
Oh, I’ll show you something good
If you open your heart you can make a new start
When your crumbling world falls apart
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain (in this heart that’s worth)
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again (ooh, I know it must, I know it must)
The miracle of love (people try to hurt you)
Will take away your pain (try to hurt you if they could)
When the miracle of love (and it must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (ooh-ooh-ooh)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again (must take a miracle)
The miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Will take away your pain (must take a miracle)
When the miracle of love (must take a miracle)
Comes your way again
