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

Chorus :
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 

[Chorus]

And you had enough love for the both of us 
But 
I, I did you wrong I admit I did 
But now I'm facing the rest of my life 
alone 

[Chorus]

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
