Last-Minute Miracle

The Shirelles


I thought I'd found the right guy, but another girl caught his eye 
When he turned his back on me, oh I thought I'd die 
I'm just a-hanging on; most of my hope is gone 
Lonely nights still linger since he slipped through my fingers 
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for 

I'm getting hysterical, praying he'll walk through the door 
I didn't miss heartache at last, oh heartbreak in my own past 
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for (last-minute miracle) 

This infatuation can't last in his heart; I'm anticipatin' makin' a new start 
If I can't share in his sweet lips, my life will cease to exist 
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for 

Giving my love to a stranger, leaving my heart in danger 
All hope's fading away; please let him come back to stay 
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for 

(Last-minute miracle) hey hey hey 
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for (last-minute miracle) 

I need some love so fast in this confusion, this heart wearing the pain 
Never have I been so disillusioned; when I ever love again 
Last-minute miracle is all I can hope for 

I'm getting hysterical, praying he'll walk through the door 
I didn't miss heartache at last, oh heartbreak in my own past 
(Last-minute miracle) is all I can hope for 
(Last-minute miracle) is all I do 
(Last-minute miracle) I'm beggin' you please 
(Last-minute miracle) last-minute miracle
