Cant Turn Back The Years - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
'No matter how much you think you want or need it, the past has to remain just that, the past...'
\r

\r
Could've given you everything that you need
\r
but I cannot turn back the years
\r
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
\r
but I cannot turn back the years
\r

\r
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
\r
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
\r
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
\r
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
\r

\r
Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night
\r
that I cannot turn back the years
\r
so I look out my window, turn off my light
\r
but I cannot turn back the years
\r

\r
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
\r
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
\r
people are hurting and they're looking to me
\r
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
\r

\r
But I'm never gonna give it up
\r

\r
All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
\r
but I cannot turn back the years
\r
You're the water i drink, you're the air that I breathe
\r
but i cannot turn back the years
\r

\r
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
\r
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
\r
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
\r
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
\r

\r
But I'm never gonna give it up
\r
\r
