Capo 2

Miracle of miracles

Look what the night dragged in

It's a pocket full of misery

And trouble on the wind

You spoiled the best years of your life

You took them all in vain

Now you think that you're forgiven

But you can't be born again

And you say why

You say why?

Don't ask me why

And if you ever had

Any kind of love for me

You kept it all so well hid

Promises sweet promises

You kept them from your mind

Like all the lost forgotten things

You never seemed to find

Like all the disappointments

You've got no-one but yourself

And you say why

You say why

I don’t love amymore

I don’t love you anymore

I don’t love anymore
