In Canada, "It's a Miracle" was a number-one hit, spending two weeks at the top spot.[3] It was his second and final number-one song in that nation, and is ranked as the 25th biggest Canadian hit of 1975. [4]

The song describes the rigors of a long concert tour across America. The "miracle" is coming home and rediscovering love and intimacy after having gone for a protracted time without it. Once the singer returns home, he is determined to never leave again.

This song is traditionally the first song played at Barry Manilow concerts.
