I was 13 when I met Dawn, and was 16 when we started in our relationship. 

This song is about how, with what little any 16-year-old knows about love and relationship, we've sustained our 45-year relationship and 40-year marriage -- it is truly a miracle. 

 I can't believe my life has brought me here to you. 
And I can't believe your life brought you to this place too. 
It was too much to hope for, with so much to fear. 
We've got a miracle alive and well, right here. 

Is there a master plan of which we play a part? 
Or is it a game of chance -- we gamble with our heart? 
I don't think it matters, as long as you're near: 
We've got a miracle alive and well, right here. 

Were we just lucky? Were we just blessed? 
We were just children. Who would have guessed? 
Who could have guessed? 

Love is a paltry word worn thin with overuse. 
And joy sounds so puerile that it just serves to confuse. 
Still I continue, trite but sincere: 
We've got a miracle alive and well, right here. 

Where do we learn to love someone our whole life through? 
And how could I know for me that someone would be you? 
Time passes quickly, but year after year: 
We've got a miracle alive and well, right here.
