Today your shoes aren’t where they used to be
Right by the door next to mine

And in my closet all your dresses are gone
I see nothing left of yours, not a sign

You said I never gave you enough attention
Well you really got it now

CHORUS 1:
And if I could turn back the clock, push the hands the other way
I would go back to the first time, I told you, “I’m busy, go away”
Instead I’d put your hand in mine, and then we’d take a little walk
And I’d cherish every moment, if I could only turn back the clock

We’d been together for so many years
It never crossed my mind that you’d ever leave

But as I look back at how I treated you
As time went on, I had forgotten your needs

You said I’m not the man I used to be
But deep down, that man is still here

CHORUS 2:
And if I could turn back the clock, push the hands the other way
I would go back to the first time, I told you, “I’m busy, go away”
Instead I’d put down my work, and then we’d have a little talk
And I’d cherish every moment, if I could only turn back the clock

I had forgotten what’s important, I had forgotten about romance
But I swear I’ve changed my ways.  I wish you’d give me a second chance.

CHORUS 3:
Cause if I could turn back the clock, push the hands the other way
I would go back to the first time, I told you, “I’m busy, go away”
Instead I’d put your hand in mine, and then we’d take a little walk
And I’d cherish every moment, if I could only turn back the clock
