Turn Back The Clock Lyrics
Another day is ended
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
I wish that I could <b>turn back the clock</b>
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Lying here in silence
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
You might say it's just
A case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Why can't I turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
I'd go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Picture in my hand
Of a boy I still resemble
But I no longer understand
And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
A case of giving up
No
But without these memories where is the love
Where is the love
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days
Oh no no
I remember when
Life was so good
I'd go back if I could
Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away
I wouldn't change a single day
Don't let the memories slip away

This song is about wanting to go back to the past. Its tune certainly helps with the theme. The words and tune combine to make a heartbreakingly nostalgic 80s song.
I think the singer is singing about his wish to relive the past and be a child again. The theme is nostalgia and remembering the good old days.
Unfortunately, there is no rewind button in life.
I was about 11 years old when i first heard this song and since then everytime i heard this song it brings back childhood memories...
