Turn Back the Clock - Steam Powered Giraffe

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

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

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

Turn back the clock

Turn back the clock

Turn back the clock

For my love song

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
