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
