If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time Lyrics
R. Kelly
If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time
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
[Chorus]
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 my darlin' you'd still be mine
Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I plead please come back to me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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)
If I could turn back the hands
There'll 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) If I could turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back) Then I'd come to realize how much I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
If I could turn back the hands

This is one of the best songs ever...
True that el_mada! It's so sad an i bet so many people can relate to it! I dont think to many people dig the slow tempo but surely the lyrics make up for it! Great lyrics and one of R. Kellys greatest songs... Saddest breakup song ever, equal to maybe James Blunt - Goodye My Lover...
This song is pretty much sad...but I like it anyway.
ahh it's a gorgeous song... whenever I think 'if only I could go back in time....' this song comes to mind, along with some deeper memories =\
He must have cheated on her or something to make her leave him, and he regrets it so much he wishes he could go back in time and never do it so they'd still be together...
