miracle[惠特尼單曲]

"Miracle"是惠特尼休斯頓第三張多白金專輯”I'm Your Baby Tonight”的第三支單曲。也是由L.A. Reid和Babyface共同創作並製作的第三首歌曲（另外兩首是同名曲和Anymore）。

背景

在1991年6月14日和Jet雜誌的訪問中，惠姨提到她並不打算讓這首歌或者MV只跟流產有關，“我想到的是我們呼吸的空氣，我們居住的土地。我想到我們的孩子們。我想到很多事，上帝讓我們擁有的東西，我們需要卻視為當然的東西。我認為所有的這些都可稱之為miracles，我覺得我們應該更好地珍惜它們。”

排行榜表現

BillboardHot 100首周#63，peak #9，在榜14周。在R&B榜位居亞軍，成人當代#4。加拿大榜#17。
R&B榜年榜#24，成人當代年榜#33.

MV

惠姨在一個空檔的錄音棚唱著這首歌。當她唱起這首歌的第一段的時候，出現了人們面臨審判，生活在貧困中，流產這樣悲傷的畫面。在第二段，畫面轉換成一些輕鬆的場景，孩子們成長，贏得比賽，從學校畢業，享受作為小小成年人的生活。最後以孩子們的笑容結尾。
由於這個MV，人們普遍認為這首歌是關於一個剛經歷流產的女孩意識到自己犯了一個錯誤。 但是惠姨在之後的Jet雜誌採訪中否認了這一點。

歌詞

How could I throw away a miracle?

How could I face another day?

It's all of my doing, I made a choice

miracle[惠特尼單曲]

And today, I pay

My heart is full of pain

How could you understand, the way I feel?

How could you relate to so much pain?

Seems as though nothing can comfort me

So today, I pray

That someone should listen, for...

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

The choice is yours

There's a miracle in store...

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

A voice of love is crying out

Don't throw love away

There's a miracle in store...

How could I let go of a miracle?

Nothing cold ever take its place

Thought I was looking, out for myself

Now it seems the pain

Is all that I have gained

I wonder if I could be your miracle

I wonder if I could spare you pain

Seems as though nothing will comfort me

Lord, less today, I pray

That you should come listen

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

The choice is yours

There's a miracle in store...

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

A voice of love is crying out

Don't throw love away

There's a miracle in store...

Don't ever throw away your miracle

Don't let it slip away

Nothing should matter

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

The choice is yours

There's a miracle in store...

Nothing should matter

Not when love grows inside you

A voice of love is crying out

Don't throw love away

There's a miracle in store...

主流媒體評價

1.滾石雜誌編輯James Hunter稱讚道，"when L.A. and BabyFace follow her into ballad-land on the despondent "Miracle," Houston's own moods call the shots more clearly."
2.Allmusic編輯Ashley S. Battel把這首歌稱為專輯的最享受的部分，稱讚歌詞 "the powerful verses surrounding a love lost through one's own devices in "Miracle."
3.娛樂周刊編輯David Browne認為這首歌的旋律是不易察覺的，這首歌是個無足輕重的存在。
