Beautiful Mistake Songtext

The only time I fell in love with anyone Was Christmas Eve at Saint Ann's home for girls After twenty-seven hours of hell the worst of it was done And a tiny piece of heaven graced my world The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you Beautiful mistake, beautiful mistake So live the happy ever after that your mama never knew The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you Kicked out of beauty school and drinkin' to forget I couldn't even keep a stray dog fed Dreamed of headin' down to Nashville writin' songs to pay the rent But I only headed straight downhill instead The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you Beautiful mistake, beautiful mistake So live the happy ever after that your mama never knew The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you The only song I've ever finished to this day A mother's love I tried my damnedest to convey Hoping the words would help you understand someday I stitched them to the quilt that came to carry you away One sleepless night a ghost appeared on my t.v. My face before the whiskey and heartbreak Your sweet young voice put music to the pages of my story You sang a ballad called ?the beautiful mistake? The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you Beautiful mistake, beautiful mistake So live the happy ever after that your mama never knew The most beautiful mistake I ever got to make was you
