TURNING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
(Music: Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" / Lyrics: Neil Sedaka)


Neil Sedaka - 1995
Danny Roman - 2006





Turning back the hands of time
To see the house I lived in
To see the streets I walked on

And there's the children
They were all so small
Step back with me

If I can only turn the clock back
Back to the days when we were oh, so young
To relive those days gone by
When love was new, we touched the sky

And there's my Father
He's waving to me gently
Oh, how I miss him

To touch the face of friends and loved ones
To hear the laughter and to feel the tears
What a miracle this would be
If only we can turn the hands of time

(Orchestral Interlude)

And there's my Father
He's waving to me gently
Oh, how I miss him

To touch the face of friends and loved ones
To hear the laughter and to feel the tears
What a miracle this would be
If only we can turn the hands of time
Turning back the hands of time

Turning back the hands of time
The hands of time
