If I Could Turn Back Time ..
If I could turn back time
I’d turn back to a time when, you were mine
to hold, and care for, comfort, feed
A time when simply time was real!
If all it takes is heart felt breaks
To have a knowledge, time shall turn
To when a child small, you were.
Adventures over meadows green
Stopping at the flowers scent!
To have you home and in my arms, you slept,
Oh how I wish this life clock, still
Could turn at will, to bring
You back, and home to stay, your love
So Sweet!
Your Spirit strong, you know
Just how to love –
You know those hugs of friendship
True, that only you can give!
If only time would take that hand
A hand for all mankind
To hold Eternal, Love Supreme
Forever stay your ground!
