Steam Powered Giraffe

Turn Back The Clock

I see a smile, it's bright

As a dawns 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 take it all from you

Don't you think

if every blink

is safe from all you knew?

I see a girl here

and she's smiling

Missing two front teeth

Ages three plus three

Well she's a laughing

Her hair is golden

Her toes are tapping

to the robot band

I still her now, smiling

Her hair done up in bows

Her bright eyes twinkling

She hums a little song

for me

From the music box

given by mommy

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 tailed freckled face

Well she's a working

On rolling

While the world does change

her smile stays the same

There is a woman

with a man

Her hair is dyed black

that smile, still came back

After the curtains

she leaves a little box

A tiny dancer spins

Music plays from within

Turn back the clock

Turn back the clock

Turn back the clock

For my love song

A little girl sits

And she's laughing

She looks just like 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 home, back to me

Oh, my 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
