Paul Kelly If I Could Start Today Again lyrics

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
