Paul Ellis Sweet Mistakes lyrics

Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.

And if you love the girl man, light up a torch
Blaze a trail to her front porch
Kiss her til your lips are scorched
Til the rain comes down on you

Chorus
Bless your sweet mistakes,
That crumble you down to your knees.
That brought you to this place
Changing you by degrees...
When change was just what you needed...
What you needed...

So if you live your life in a three piece suit,
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you.

It`s a long strange ride, I can`t tell you why
But there`s a place in your pocket where peace can abide
You pull it out, it`s a compass, a guide
And it will put a little soul on you.

Chorus

And in this wild blue world
There is a soul weavin` fine feelin` girl
But you`ve got to walk in paradise to find a pearl
If you only believe,
You`ll get what you need... what you needed...

Conquer your fear and you`ll master the game,
Life is always and never the same.
Use a little faith to light the flame ,
And I know you`ll connect to you.

Chorus

Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you
