Sweetest Mistake Lyrics - Mel Tillis

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
