[Verse 1]
It's a fairy tale so tragic
There's no prince to break the spell
I don't believe in magic
But for you, I will, yeah, for you, I will
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool
Darling, for you
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
[Verse 2]
There ain't no storybook story
There's no never-ending song
Our happily ever after, darling
Is forever come and gone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah, I'm moving on
I'm going to believe
I'll put my faith
Darling, in you
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
[Bridge]
Sleeping Beauty awakes from her dream with
Her lover's kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me, now all I have is this
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
I'm running through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king's lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
[Verse 5]
We've got no fairy-tale ending
In God's hands, our fate is complete
Your heaven's here in my heart
Our love's this dust beneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Just this dust beneath my feet
If I'm going to live
I'll lift my life
Darling, to you
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
[Chorus]
I'm counting on a miracle
Baby, I'm counting on a miracle
Darling, I'm counting on a miracle
To come through
