Live 16 Oct 2002 version
It's a fairytale so tragic, there's no prince to break the spell
I don't believe in the magic, but for you I will, yeah for you I will
If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool, darlin' for you
Well I'm countin' on a miracle
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle to come through
There ain't no storybook story, there's no never-ending song
Our happily ever after darlin' is forever come and gone, yeah I'm movin' on
If I'm gonna believe, I'll put my faith, darlin' in you
Well I'm countin' on a miracle
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle to come through
Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream with her lover's kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me, now all I have is this
Your kiss, (your kiss), your touch, (your touch)
Your heart, (your heart), your strength, (your strength)
Your hope, (your hope), your faith, (your faith)
Your face, (your face), your love, (your love)
Your dream, (your dream), your life, (your life)
I'm runnin' through the forest with the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight when the tower bells peal
We've got no fairytale ending, in God's hands our fate is complete
Your heaven's here in my heart, our love's this dust beneath my feet, just this dust beneath my feet
If I'm gonna live, I'll lift my life, darlin' to you
Well I'm countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Baby I'm countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Darlin' I'm countin' on miracle to come through
Well I'm countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Countin' on miracle (oh) to come through
Well I'm countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Countin' on a miracle (countin' on a miracle)
Countin' on miracle to come through
Well I'm countin' on a miracle
The above lyrics are for the live 16 Oct 2002 performance of COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, during The Rising Tour.
Video for the complete 16 Oct 2002 concert was released in 2003 on the Live In Barcelona DVD (see the below section).
Two month into The Rising Tour, the first half of the 16 Oct 2002 concert at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, was broadcast live at the time across Europe on MTV Europe and VH1 UK. A tape of the broadcast was later aired by CBS in the United States on 28 Feb 2003. The entire concert was released on 18 Nov 2003 on the Live In Barcelona DVD. This was the first time that an entire Springsteen concert was documented with an official release in either audio or video. The video is directed by Chris Hilson and produced by Jon Landau, Barbara Carr, and George Travis. Audio is recorded and mixed by Brendan O'Brien and the video is edited by Thom Zimny.
No equivalent audio-only album release was made, but SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT from this show was officially released as a bonus track on the Lonesome Day European maxi single in 2002, and SHE'S THE ONE and BORN TO RUN were officially released on the US-only promotional CD sampler Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band PBS Exclusive in late 2005. Videos of WAITIN' ON A SUNNY DAY, MARY'S PLACE, and DANCING IN THE DARK were also included on the "Tour Edition" of The Rising album in 2003.
