Turn Around Lyrics

Oh, sweet lady,
Runnin' like a stream
You don't look back
Because you know hands are clean
You make believe
That the past was just a dream
You make believe the past was just a dream

Turn around
Turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you been gone too long

Oh, Eliza, you must beget again
And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end
I was your lover but I thought I was your friend
I loved you but I thought I was your friend

So, turn around
Oh, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you been gone too long

Oh, sweet lady stand beside the sea
Maybe you will find a little time to think of me
Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be?
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be

So, turn around
Oh, turn around
Yeah, and I will sing for you a song
And I don't know where you been
But you been gone too long

Too long
I said, you been gone too long
You been gone too long

Cover art for Turn Around lyrics by Billy Joel

I love the refrain of this song. I always tend to forget about the rest of the verses so that I can fit well in my own version.

I'd love he said these words to a complete stranger he's fall in love with at first sight cause she's so precious, and he tries hard with his mind (and a little bit o' luck) that she'll turn around and look at his eyes even a single moment. And he, in return, would sing this song for her.

So, turn around Oh, turn around And I will sing for you a song I don't know where you been But you been gone too long
