Premium Member If Only We Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
I can't forget those days when you were mine.
How young we were - not even at our prime!
Had we held on, could love have grown divine?
If only we could turn back the hands of time.

What could have been? I guess we'll never know.
Although I've never...

Premium Member My Eyes Turn Back
I've courted luck, in countless ways
      Against the ragged judgments and self-umbrage
         I still draw breath, and the mirror has been charitable
   Most I meet deem me forty, (I don't...

Premium Member If Only We Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
An island  I have become, in  the  shadows  of  darkness, 
and  the  boundless ocean  waves  of  salty  tears  of  starkness. 
High  overhead  all  moving  about,  thousands ...

Turn Back
On the inside, I’m imploding at a slow and painful rate. If only people could understand my pain, understand my thoughts, understand why I am the way I am. Maybe no one will ever understand. Maybe no one will ever care to try. I try...

Premium Member If I Could Only Turn Back the Clock
I can’t get behind the wheel, I’m disqualified
So I’m on the early morning train ride to the city
There are so many commuters, I join the throng 
Down the street as I was drifting with the city's human tide.

We are packed like sardines crushed side by...

Turn Back Time
Imagine being told as a little girl that you are ugly, you are stupid, and that you are a four eyed little freak.
I still hear those words in my mind as the days go by in my life.
Those words can crush a little girls dreams...

If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time
IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME....

If I could turn back the hands of time,
To sight of green grass and colourful flowers nod together,
In warm, quiet and friendly whisper in the midday breeze,
The language I could clearly treasure and understand,
Under the verdant branches...

Turn Back To God
We must turn back to God
As a nation declare His praise
Put our trust in Jesus
To Him a banner raise.

Our nation is so divided in faith
Its falling apart within
We must turn back to God again
Repent of all our sin.

Lets learn to fear our God again
And honour...

Too Late To Turn Back Now
That song’s been ringing in my head
For almost half the day….
It’s too late to turn back now.
I believe, I believe, I believe,
I’ve fallen in love with you,
And I have no clue why or
Even how?

It’s too late to turn back now.
I believe, I believe, I believe,
I’ve...

Turn Back The Clock

Six months have now passed since I learned of your death
Still grapple with the reality that you no longer draw breath

Taking your own life left me feeling bewildered and shocked
If I could make a Genie's wish this is one reality I like...

            Turn back, back, the pages of time, the tattered pages,
Lay open the story of my life, all the sadness and sorrow;
      I see the little girl that was...

I Will Never Turn Back
I'm coming back to thy holy home,
I have laid down my lugage of loss,
Never again will I retire, run or roam;
I now cling to Christ's convenant and cross. 

I have laid down my lugage of loss,
God's holy hands holds my humble heart,
I now cling to...

Can We Turn Back the Time
(female verse 1)
staring up at the darkened sky, stars come out lighting it up so bright
who knew I’d be standing here alone
after all we had now you’re gone
You took my heart when you fled
now I’m broken and empty, you left me in shreds
why did ...

If I Could Turn Back Time
If I could turn back time...
My life would be different
Completely and utterly
Another dimension
My parents, at this very moment,
Would only be friends.
A friend of a friend.
My dad would be alive with me.
 
If I could turn back time...
What a commonly used phrase.
What if you truly could?
Would...
