Sweetest Mistake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're the sweetest mistake I ever made
I've heard it said your life is strewn with broken hearts
Of fools like me who make mistakes and aren't very smart
But I took the chance and threw my life away
For you're the sweetest mistake I ever made
You're the sweetest mistake I ever made the price of loving
you I'll gladly pay
The decent life I lived before you came I'll gladly trade
For the sweetest mistake I ever made
[ guitar + fiddle ]
There's been many times that you have made me cry
But still you took the cold out of my empty lonely life
But the things most people treasure I would give away
For the sweetest mistake I ever made
You're the sweetest mistake...
You're the sweetest mistake I ever made
