Lyrics
If I Could Turn Back Time
(Randall Lee Anderson/Betty K. Miller)
Verse 1
The boy said dad, I haven't done things right
But I'm sure glad to see you here tonight
I know it's killing you to visit me behind these prison walls
If I could turn back time, I wouldn't be here at all
Verse 2
The girl said dad, it's me, can I come home
I'm somewhere in a phone booth, cold and all alone
I don't know why I ran away, but I'm glad you took my call
If I could turn back time, I wouldn't be here at all
Bridge
Time is like water rushing under a bridge
There's no turning it back, but that's ok
'Cause the love that a father has for his child
Is strong enough to wash the past away
Verse 3
I said oh Lord, I haven't done things right
And I'm on my knees calling to you tonight
I didn't know how much I needed you until I took a fall
If I could turn back time, I wouldn't be here at all
