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

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

Bridge
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

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
