Lyrics
How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking,
sinking to rise no more
Ever since you
closed the door
If I could turn,
turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn,
turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny,
funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed
in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why
should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray
please come back to me
if... I could turn
turn back the hands of time
then my darling you
you would be mine
if I could turn,
turn back the hands of time
then my darling you'd still be mine
And you had enough love
for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong,
I admit I did
But now
I'm facing the rest of my life alone,
whoa
if I could turn
turn back the hands of time
then my darling you
you would be mine
woooohhoo
if I could turn,
turn back the hands of time
then my darling you'd still be mine
I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
turn back (the hands) the hands
There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, ...
I love yuou
(If I could turn back)
waooohh oouuwooo That would be my will
(If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me back again
(If I could turn back the hands)
I'm going down, (If I could turn back)
yes I am
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
(If I could turn back the hands...)
waooooohhh
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize
howmuch
I love you
Love you
love you
love you
love youuuuuu
(If I could turn back...)
(If I could turn back...)
(If I could turn back the hand...)
