MIRA My mom and I were always close, I was an only child. See, mom had lost three others before it clicked with me. She called me her miracle, “Mira” for short. And the love in her was bigger than the sea. And she’d say “Promise me this, Mira: Enjoy your time on earth, always appreciate the wonder of your birth. Promise me this Mira, don’t waste a single day. Before you know it dear, it all can fade away.” We lived a meager life, but me I didn’t really care. When you’re used to having nothing, you don’t miss the things you lack. And Dad was a drinker, could not hold a job. And one day, he left, and never came back. And mom said “Promise me this, Mira: Never make a fuss. Your father’s journey, is somewhere without us. Promise me this, Mira. Don’t ever miss his touch. It only means I get to love you twice as much. Mom saw no limitation of dreams for me. But she knew a good education would be the key. So, I studied hard when I got lost, Mom encouraged me. Then, in time a won a scholarship to the college of my choice. Mom was so proud of me, she burst at the seams. When she spoke I hear the passion in her voice.

Promise me this, Mira don’t waste a single day Before you know it dear, it all can fade away. A few days later, Mama fell and dropper her groceries.

Now and then I think about the things that Mama missed but instead of tears, my heart begins to stir. ‘Cause she’s the one who made me see that miracles exist.

Omg this is BEAUTIFUL!! ❣️❣️I recently discovered this show and I’m OBSESSED. Could you maybe do an audition cut of this? It would be perfect. Keep being amazing 🤩
Thank you so much this was so helpful for me! I’m currently in the production for The Theory of relatively, but we don’t have the accompaniment to anything so this was helpful to rehearse with
Hi! I need a song to play at my piano concert, do you think this could be a good fit for someone who’s recently completed RCM level 8 piano? Just want to know before actually purchasing the music :)
And do you have any recommendations? I love musical theatre so I’m looking to play a song from a musical (already doing Memory from Cats haha) but I am struggling to find suitable music 😅
I have been on the hunt for this accompaniment for such a long time!! Thank you SO very much!!
Great! I'm so glad you found it! 🤩

My mom and I were always close,
I was an only child.
See, mom had lost three others
before it clicked with me.
She called me her miracle,
“Mira” for short.
And the love in her
was bigger than the sea.
And she’d say “Promise me this, Mira:
Enjoy your time on earth,
always appreciate the wonder of your birth.
Promise me this Mira, don’t waste a single day.
Before you know it dear, it all can fade away.”
We lived a meager life,
but me I didn’t really care.
When you’re used to having nothing,
you don’t miss the things you lack.
And Dad was a drinker, could not hold a job.
And one day, he left, and never came back.
And mom said “Promise me this, Mira:
Never make a fuss. Your father’s journey, is somewhere without us.
Promise me this, Mira. Don’t ever miss his touch.
It only means I get to love you twice as much.
Mom saw no limitation of dreams for me.
But she knew a good education would be the key.
So, I studied hard when I got lost, Mom encouraged me.
Then, in time a won a scholarship to the college of my choice.
Mom was so proud of me, she burst at the seams.
When she spoke I hear the passion in her voice.

I won’t waste a single day.
And my miracle will never fade away.
