"Honest As Daylight" lyrics

Carla Olson & Percy Sledge Lyrics

"Honest As Daylight"

I climbed high on a ladder
Looked down on the valley of souls
Fought hard to get here
Burned some bridges, that took its toll
So I made some mistakes
We all do
Sold somebody something
That just wasn't new

And I met an angel
He said, just get in line
Promised me a pardon
He said I'll get to you when it's time
Well I've made some mistakes
We all do
I told somebody something
That just wasn't true
And I'd take it all back
But I have no excuse
I made some mistakes
What can I do?

They printed in the paper
Finally made the man
The picture was dated
Lost some weight since then
I'm betting that angel
Will finally see
There's not a lotta trouble
Left inside of me

Well, I've made some mistakes
We all do
I sold somebody something
Which just wasn't new
And I'd take it on back
But I have no excuse
Yes, I've made some mistakes
What can I do?

Made some mistakes
We all do
Told somebody something
That wasn't true
Yes, I've made some mistakes
We all do
I told somebody something
Baby that just was not true

Yes, I've made some mistakes
Yes, we all do
I told somebody something
That just wasn't true

Yes, we've made some mistakes
We all do
I told somebody something
What can I do?
