Simple Minds Promised You a Miracle

From their 1982 album New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Lyrics:

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance as love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
One love she sees
He controls on love
Love sails to a new life

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible
With promises
Everything is possible
Oh no

I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering
Chance reflects on them a while
Love screams so quietly
Slipping back on golden times
Breathing with sweet memories

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life mirrors a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
Everything is possible
Oh no

Chance lost pearls of great price
Take care of family
Only aches for love
Love waits for fame
In chance in chance they'll see

I promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises promises
As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees
He controls on love
Life throws a cure
Everything is possible in the game of life
A burning dream
You can be Queen
Everything is possible

Wow, this takes me back to when Music had feeling. Band played instruments and weren't manufactured pap or talent show winners.

[MegaPower2thepeople]

Big fan of Simple Minds. This is their best tune

[ninelivecat]

@nzuri25 Yeah me too they have grown on me I never liked them all that much in the 80's but I have come around

[nzuri25]

I am a huge fan of simple minds

[pagandude1]

does anybody remember the days when there were cool bands like this and when they put an album out EVERY single track was a hit , like, the whole album didn't have a single bad song on it? oh for those days to return...

Brings back old New Romantic memories.

Always thought NGD was their last great album,still sounds great today.I remember Jim Kerr saying at the time that he listened to Diana Ross ,and not Joy Division as everyone presumed.This song certainly has a hint of Upside Down to it-shame JK became too obsessed with U2 and Bono after this.

@RomancerSweet sorry disagree. There isn't any modern music worth talking about. It all maunfactured sh1te so why not talk about music when it WAS great and you associated it with happy memories. Nothing wrong with that

[RomancerSweet]

dear lord, can't you guys get over yourself with all this about past music bla bla nowadays music bla bla. also there is nothing more annoying than those teenagers trying to feed their ego telling how young they are for the amazingly good taste in music they have..... bunch of assholes. can't people simple enjoy the music and leave the rest of the world alone?
