In a Holiday Inn,
in a bar, in a corner
A man sat staring at the light
he'd been handed
And praying for a miracle to
let him sleep
He's got a woman back home
and a woman in the city
And both of them sittin' by the phone
and he can't stand it
How could such a sinful man
be in so deep?
But he believes in the miracle of love
An d she believes the same
And he believes that the
woman that shares his love
can share his name,
share his name
Well, his head's saying no,
and his heart's saying maybe
He's torn between the places
he's been sleeping
And praying for a miracle
he don't get caught
He's just an old -fashioned man
with a modern -day problem
He's weighted down
by the secrets he's been given
And things he didn't think about
and the things he thought
But he believes in the miracle of love
And she believes the same
And he don't stop thinkin'
that the woman that bears his child
Should bear his name,
bear his name
There's a page turned down
in the family bible
And God never wrote what it says in there
It's the name and the number
of a woman
in Memphis, Tennessee
And not a chapter away
from the crossing of the Jordan
A pain that only she can bear
Got the same full name
as a woman in Memphis
She be lieves in the miracle of love
And she better believe the same
Cause he believes that
the one that shares his love
can share his name
Share his name
You
