Lyrics of If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time by Public Announcement

verse

How did I ever let you slip away?
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now, I'm sinkin', sinkin' to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

chorus

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

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Whoa, why? Oh, why? Oh, why should one have to go on suffering?
When every day, I pray, please come back to me

chorus

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

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

chorus

Whoa, if I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then, my darling, you, you would be mine
Whoa, whoa, if I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then, my darling, you'd still be mine

verse

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)
Turn back the hands

verse

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 (if I could turn back the hands)
I promise

verse

I'll love you (if I could turn back)
Whoa, that would be my will (if I could turn back)
Darling, I'm begging you (if I could turn back the hands)
To take me by the hand

verse

I'm goin' 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 (if I could turn back the hands)
Until you return to me, whoa

verse

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 come to realize how much I (if I could turn back the hands)

outro

Love you (if I could turn back)
Love you (if I could turn back)
Love you (if I could turn back the hands)
Love you
Love you (if I could turn back, if I could turn back)
(If I could turn back the hands)
Writer(s): Robert S. Kelly
