Remarks:
I know this as a Deniece Williams song from the 1980s when it went to #1 on the US R&B chart in 1982. Only in the YouTube Era (2005- ) did I discover the original from the 1960s. It went to #28 in 1965. The sound and the look just oozes the 1960s. Credit to Deniece Williams that I never suspected she was copying an older song.

Lyrics:
Loving you so
I was too blind to see
You letting me go
Now that you’ve set me free
It’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
‘Cause I’m crazy for you
Oh, didn’t you know
It wouldn’t be so easy
Letting you go
I could have told you that
It’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
‘Cause I’m crazy for you
Oh, though I know I can’t get rid of you
I’m gonna try to show you how much
You’re turning me around, destroying me
I’ll never be the same as before
You must realize
You took your love and left me
Quite by surprise
You can be sure that now
It’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
‘Cause I’m crazy for you
[instrumental break]
It’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
‘Cause I’m crazy for you
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle
Yes, it’s gonna take a miracle…
Laura Nyro redid it also in the 1970s with La Belle on an album of the same name. Priceless.
