Flower Drum Song - A Hundred Million Miracles Lyrics

1958 Broadway
Flower Drum Song the Musical - A Hundred Million Miracles Lyrics


The song was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

My father says that children keep growing,
Rivers keep flowing too.
My father says he doesn't know why,
But somehow or other they do.

(They do! Some how or other they do.)

A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning every day,
And those who say they don't agree
Are those who do not hear or see.
A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning every day,

(spoken: Miracle of changing weather:)

When a dark blue curtain is pinned by the stars,
Pinned by the stars to the sky,
Every flow'r and tree is a treat to see,
The air is very clean and dry.

Then a wind comes blowing the pins all away,
Night is confused and upset!
The sky falls down like a clumsy clown,
The flowers and the trees get wet.
(Very wet!)

A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning every day,
And when the wind shall turn his face,
The pins are put right back in place!
A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning ev'ry day!

In every single minute
So much is going on,
Along the Yangtse Kiang
Or the Tiber or the Don.
A hundred million miracles!

A swallow in Tasmania is sitting on her eggs,
And suddenly those eggs have wings
And eyes and beaks and legs!
A hundred million miracles!

A little girl in Chungking,
Just thirty inches tall,
Decides that she will try
To walk and nearly doesn't fall!
A hundred million miracles!

A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles,
A hundred million miracles
Are happ'ning every day!

My father says the sun will keep rising
Over the eastern hill.
My father says he doesn't know why
But somehow or other it will.

(It will! somehow or other it will.)
