Hands of Time
R Kelly · Other Songs - R Kelly
Never knowing that I'll be singing this song someday,
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 darling,you'd still be mine,
If I could turn,turn back the hands of time,
Then my darling,you'd, you'd still be mine.**
Funny,funny how time goes by,
And blessing are missed in a wink of an eye,
Why,oh,why,oh,why,oh,should one go on suffering,
When everyday I breathe,please come back to me.
**If I could turn,turn back the hands of time,
Then my darling,you'd still be mine,
If I could turn,turn back the hands of time,
Then my darling,you'd,you'd still be mine .**
And you'd 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,
Woo,Woo,Wah.
If I could turn,turn back the hands of time,
Then my darling,you'd still be mine,
Wowowow,
If I could turn,turn back the hands of time,
Then my darling,you'd,you'd still be mine.
Oh I'll never hurt you,never do you wrong,
And never leave your side,turn back the hands,
Wowowow,
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall,
Then I'd come to realise,
How much I love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you,
Love you.
Hands of Time
R Kelly's "Hands of Time" stands as a defining track from the late 1990s, exemplifying the genre-blending approach that characterized his early career. The recording features Kelly's signature smooth vocal delivery layered over a soulful, R&B-infused composition that captures the romantic melancholy prevalent in his work during that era. While the song lacks a specific album title in public records, it aligns closely with the themes and sonic textures found in his discography, including tracks like "The World's Greatest" and "Chocolate Factory." The piece reflects Kelly's ability to weave personal narrative with polished production, creating a sound that influenced a generation of contemporary R&B artists. Its enduring appeal lies in its emotional resonance and the seamless integration of melody and lyricism that became a hallmark of his catalog.
