Oh darlin', I'm so lonely without you
I can't sleep at night
Just thinkin' about you
But if I had the chance to start all over
I'd be wishing today on a four leaf clover
And leaving would be the last thing on my mind
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
Oh darlin', I can't hold out much longer
But the pain is so deep
And the hurt's getting stronger
But if I had just one more try
I'd be yours alone, until the day I die
And we'd have a love so divine
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
All right, come on
Oh darlin', plеase
Please lеt me come back home
Your love's been so good to me, baby
And I've realized without it, I can't go on
Cause you're the other half
That makes my life complete
If I had one more chance
We'd have a love so sweet
And leaving would be the last thing on my mind
Leaving would be the last thing on my mind
I said, leaving would be the last thing on my mind
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I could just have another chance, darling
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
Just give me one more chance
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
I wanna turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
I'm gonna turn back the hands of time
