Steam Powered Giraffe - Turn Back The Clock

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
