Verse 1:
C                           F
- My mom and I were always close
         C
I was an only child.
     Am                 C
See, mom had lost three others
  Dm                   G7
Before it clicked with me.
     C             G
She called me her miracle
 Am          C
"Mira" for short.
         F
And the love in her

Was bigger than the sea.

Enjoy your time on earth.

- Before you know it dear, it all can fade away."

Verse 2:
C
- We lived a meager life
    F            C
But me I didn't really care.
            Am              C
When you're used to having nothing
           Dm                  G7
You don't miss the things you lack.
     C          G            Am          G
And Dad was a drinker, could not hold a job.
         F                 G          C
And one day, he left, and never came back.

But she knew a good education would be    the key.

So - I studied hard.

To the college of my choice.

Mom was so proud of me, she burst at the scene.

When she spoke I heard the passion in her voice.

Verse 4:
C                         F                    C
- A few days later, Mama fell and dropped her groceries.
    Am              C                   Dm            G7
But inside we both knew that something more was going on.
   C            G          Am           G
I prayed for a miracle, I cried myself dry.
     F                             C
But six weeks later Mama was gone.


Bridge:
Am               G               F         C     D
Now and then I think about the things that Mama missed
        Dm                G               C
But instead of tears, my heart begins to stir.
        Am                G                F         D7
‘Cause she's the one who made me see that miracles exist.
   Dm                                    G
So I just smiled, and whispered this to her.


Chorus:
    F                 C
"I promise you this, Mama:
G                 C
I will make it through.
F              C                D7          G7
- ‘Cause now I understand, the miracle was you.
   F                 C
I promise you this, Mama
         Am      Cm     F7
I won't waste a single day.
C         D            G           F
- And my miracle will never fade away.
