There's No Turning Back Time

Reel after reel of video tapes

Christmas Day mornings, kids on first dates

So many moments of laughter and tears

Too many faces no longer here

In a world where everything moves so fast

How could we know it was too good to last?

And year after year the scrapbooks are stored

There for the viewing, but mostly ignored

And oh, for the chance to rewind and replay

And relive the summers of innocent days

And to find all of the things we've lost

And hold them close no matter the cost

And once again we look for a sign

Dancing with shadows that we've left behind

And though we try, we hear the clock chime

We shatter the hourglass, but ain't it a crime?

There's no turning back time

Some days it feel we've just begun

But time and tide wait for no one

Another trip around the sun as days rush by

Someone had said so long ago

"Beware, my child, how fast it goes

The day will come before you know to say goodbye"

So raise a glass to Auld Lang Syne

And make a wish and pour the wine

And toast the days when stars aligned

And do not cry

'Cause I know if I could do it all again

I would change so many things

But what good would it bring?

So I'll take the loses with the gains

And make the best of what remains

And once again we look for a sign

Dancing with shadows that we've left behind

And though we try, we hear the clock chime

We shatter the hourglass, but ain't it a crime?

There's no turning back time

There's no turning back time

(Time, time time

Time, time, time

Time, time, time)
