Lyrics for Song: Can't Turn Back the Years
Lyrics for Album: Love Songs - A Compilation... Old And New [2004]
Could've given you everything that you need
but I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
but I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
Sometimes, hits me in the morning, hits me at night
that I cannot turn back the years
so I look out my window, turn off my light
but I cannot turn back the years
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
people are hurting and they've looking to me
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
All that I lived for, all the I dreamed
but I cannot turn back the years
You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breath
but I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up

Featured on the 2004 compilation "Love Songs - A Compilation... Old And New," the track exemplifies Collins' ability to blend pop sensibilities with deeper emotional resonance. While best known for anthems like "In the Air Tonight" and "Another Day in Paradise," this recording showcases his versatility in crafting ballads that resonate with universal themes of nostalgia and acceptance.
