Lyrics Beautiful Mistake

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
