Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darling, you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darling you, you'd still be mine
[Verse 3]
Funny, hunny how time goes by
And blessings are missed In the wink of an eye
Oh why, oh why, oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day, I pray, "Please come back to me"
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darling you, you would be mine
Whoa, if I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darling, you'd still be mine
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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 the hands)
Whoa, if I (If I could turn back)
Could just turn back that little clock on the wall (If I could turn back)
Then I'd I come to realize how much I (If I could turn back the hands)
[Verse 8]
Love you (If I could turn back)
Love you (If I could turn back)
Love you, love you (If I could turn back the hands)
[Verse 9]
Love you (If I could turn back)
