If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby (baby)
So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power
And there's really nothing we can't do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to
(You know we could, you know we could)
We could exist on the stars, it was so easy.

(Oh Baby)
All we got to do is get a little faith in you.
Woah, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)
I know that love is the answer (yes it is)
Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)
Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better?(Nothing's better!)
And all the answers to our prayers,
Hell, it's the same everywhere. (just the same now)
Nothing ever breaks up the heart(love's a game now)
only your tears give you away (Ain't it a shame now).

When you're right where I found you(oh baby)
with my arms around you. (oh baby)
Baby, baby.
Love is a magic word if you ever find inner life
But from that very first look in your eyes 
I see you and I have but one heart.
Only our bodies were apart (it's making me crazy)
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world (Just a drop of it)
When I went down on you, girl, oh

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me
(Never say never)
I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me (whenever, whenever you walk with me)
You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)
Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)
Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)
Oh baby in a love song, aw baby
(love song) aw baby (love song) aw baby (love song)
Oh yeah, yeah, alright
Baby we're sure doin' it tonight (baby we're sure doing it)

Every time you come by let me try (come on by)
Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, ugh.
I can't even believe it with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted 
(Dream of a lifetime) come true.
I picked up your vibes, you know (I'm having a fine time)
It opened my mind but I'm still dreaming.
Yeah (yeah eh eh oh)
And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you! (oh baby)

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
So would I 
So would I

If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)
If only you believe like I believe, baby, (If only you believe like I believe)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, (If only you believed in miracles so would I)

Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship is an American rock band formed in the early 1970s. The band has undergone several major changes in personnel and genres through the years while retaining the same Jefferson Starship name. The current Jefferson Starship, led by co-founder David Freiberg, more closely resembles its original mix of psychedelic and electric folk music than the pop-driven tunes it was widely known for in the early to mid-1980s. It is not to be confused with Starship, a spin-off of the group featuring former co-lead singer Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick that also periodically tours. The latter group is most frequently identified with the 1980s pop tunes of the Jefferson Starship. more »
