Ordinary Miracles Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

I′m very proud of him
This is a new song and, uh
I like what it has to say

Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as...

Pebbles make a mountain
Raindrops make a sea
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me

Ordinary miracles
Happen all around
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing


Every sun that rises
Never rose before
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door

And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways

Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark
And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move
The winds and the tides can turn

Yes, ordinary miracles
One for every star
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder
Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes
Oh, see the way a miracle multiplies


Now hope can spring eternally
Plant it and it grows
Love is all that's necessary
Lovin′, it's extraordinary
Why?
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day

Thank you
And now I'd like you to help me thank this superb orchestra, if you would
Why don′t you stand up and take a very well-deserved bow? Thank you

I′m very, very happy to have him with me tonight and every night
