If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
R. Kelly · R. [1998]
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
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 darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Oh why, oh why should one have to go on suffering?
When every day I pray, please come back to me
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you, you'd be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin', you still be mine
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, whoa
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you, you'd be mine, whao
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin', you still be mine
Oh, 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 the hands)
Turn back the hands
There'd 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)
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
(If I could turn back the hands)
(If I could turn back)
Love you
(If I could turn back)
Love you
(If I could turn back the hands)
Love you
Love you
(If I could turn back)
(If I could turn back)
(If I could turn back the hands)
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
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 darlin' you, you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Oh why, oh why should one have to go on suffering?
When every day I pray, please come back to me
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you, you'd be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
