[Verse 1]
How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
That's covering your mind?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again

[Bridge 1]
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)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge 2]
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain (In this heartless world)
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again (Ooh, you know it must, you 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)

[Outro]
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 (Must take a miracle)

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
