I see a smile
It's bright
as a dawn's
break of light
Is it meant for me?
This time
can I keep it close
to warm me forever
Time can make the world strange
Folks you knew don't seem the same
Time don't care
It beats you there
And takes it all from you
Don't you think
Even a blink
Is safe from all you knew
I see the girl here
And she's smilin'
Missing two front teeth
Age is three plus three
Well she's a'laughin'
Her hair is golden
Her toes a tappin'
To the robot band
I still see her now
Smiling
Her hair done up in bows
her brown eyes twinkling
She hummed a little song
For me
From a music box
Given by Mommy
(Chorus)
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
For my love song
The autumns roll by
a young lady
takes the child's place
Pig taled freckled face
And she's a workin'
On a growin'
While the world does change
Her smile stays the same
There is a woman
with a man
her hair is dyed black
But that smile it still came back
After the curtain
She leaves a little box
A tiny dancer spins
Music plays from within
(Chorus)
A little girl sits
And she's laughin'
She looks just like her
With her golden curls
The smile's there
It's not the same smile
Where'd my girl run to
Will she be back soon?
I see her now
Smiling
Come on back
To me
Hum her little song
Where did she go?
Where did she go?
Where did she go?
Don't leave, don't leave
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
Turn back the clock
For my love song
