if i could start today again

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
