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 my darlin' 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 plead please come back to me



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



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)

If I could turn back the hands

There'll 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 you

If I could turn back the hands

(If I could turn back) That would be my will

(If I could turn back) Darlin' I'm begging you

to take me by the hands

If I could turn back the hands

I'm going down yes I am

(If I could turn back)

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

(If I could turn back) If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall

(If I could turn back)

Then I'd come to realize how much

I love you, love you, love you,

love you, love you

If I could turn back the hands
