In a Holiday Inn

In a bar in a corner

A man sat starin' at the life

That he'd been handed

Prayin' for a miracle to let him sleep

He's got a woman back home

And a woman in the city

Both of them sittin'

By the phone and he can't stand it

How could such a simple

Man be in so deep

When he believes

In the miracle of love

And she believes the same

And he believes that

The woman that shares his love

Should share his name

Should share his name

Well his head's sayin' no

And his heart's sayin' maybe

Torn between the places

He's been sleepin'

Prayin' for a miracle

That he won't get caught

He's just an old-fashioned

Man with a modem day problem

Weighted down by the

Secrets he's been keepin'

The things he didn't

Think about and the things he thought

When he believes in the miracle of love

And she believes the same

And he dozed off thinkin'

That the woman that bears his child

Should bear his name

Should bear his name

There's a page turned down

In the family Bible

God never wrote

What it said in there

It's the name and

The number of a woman

In Memphis Tennessee

Not a chapter away from

The crossin' of the Jordan

Pain that only she can bear

She's got the same full

Name as a woman in Memphis

She believes in the miracle of love

She better believe the same

Cause he believes that

The women that share his love

Can share his name

Can share his name
