If I could turn back the hands of time
G - Em - C - D
G Em
1. How did I ever let you slip away,
C D
never
knowing I’d be singing this song some day.
G Em
And now I’m sinking, sinking
to rise no more,
C D
ever
since you closed the door.
G Em
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time,
C
D
then,
my, darling, you’d still be mine,
G
Em
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time,
C D
then, darling, you, you’d still be
mine.
G Em
2. Funny, funny how time goes by,
C
D
and
blessings are missed in the wink of an eye.
G Em
Woah,
oh why, oh why should one have to go on suffering,
C D
when
every day I pray : Please, come back to me !
+ CHORUS
C D Em
+ And you had enough
love for the both of us,
C D Em C
but
I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did,
Am D - D7
but
now I’m facing the rest of my life alone.
G Em
Whoah, if I could turn, turn back
the hands of time,
C D
then, my darling, you, you would
be mine,
G Em
Whoah, if I could turn, turn back
the hands of time,
C
D
then, my darling, you’d still be
mine.
G Em
3. Oh, I’d never hurt you, never do you wrong,
C D
and
never leave your side, turn back the hands !
G
There’d be nothing I wouldn’t
do for you,
Em
forever
honest and true to you,
C D
if
you accept me back in your heart, I’m coming.
G Em
Love you, oh, that would be my
will,
C D
darling,
I’m begging you to take me by the hands.
G Em
I’m going down, down on my
bended knee, yeah,
C D
and
I’m gonna be right there until you return to me.
G Em
Whoah,
if I could just turn back that little clock on the wall,
C
D
then
I’d come to realize how much I
G Em C
D
love
you, love you, love you, love you !
G
Em
Love you, if I could turn
back, if I could turn back,
C D
if I
could turn back the hands ....
