If I Could Just Start Today Again Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

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
