If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away
Now if I admit defeat
Tell me what then will that mean
Will I cease to be or will I be redeemed
Or will it be the end of me

And you ought to know by now
To get out from under that cloud
That took all my power
And it's the only thing that counts
Well I smile as I stand here today
With all the mistakes I've made
Now in my darkest night
They're the brightest stars in the sky

If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away
Fade away

And you ought to know by now
To get out from under that cloud
That took all my power
And it's the only thing that counts
Well I smile as I stand here today
With all the mistakes I've made
Now in my darkest night
They're the brightest stars in the sky

If you count all my mistakes
I would have to walk away
I just could not take another yesterday
I've not the strength to fade away
