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
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
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 (if I could turn back, if I could turn back)
(If I could turn back the hands)
