If I Could Start Today Again - Paul Kelly

All the kings and queens in the Bible

They could not turn back time

So what chance have I of a miracle

In this life of mine?

I only want one day

To unsay the things I said

Undo the thing I did

Twenty-four little hours

Oh, God, please wipe them all away

And I promise I will change

If I could start today again

I know I’m not the milk and honey kind

Today I proved it true

When the red mist falls around my eyes

I know not what I do

Please give me back today

And I won’t say the things I said

Or do that thing I did

Every minute, every hour

The replay’s just the same

And I can’t stand the shame

Oh, let me start today again

I only want one day

One lousy day, that’s all

Of every day that’s been before

Since time began

I know my prayer’s in vain

But for a second I’ll pretend

That I can start today again
