Capo on 5
G
Em
I see a smile
C
It's bright
G
as a dawn's
D
break of light
Em
Is it meant for me?
C
This time
G
Can I keep it close
D
to warm me forever
Em G D
Time can make the world strange
Em G D
Folks you knew don't seem the same
G
Time don't care
D
It beats you there
Em Am
And takes it all from you
G
Don't you think
D
Even a blink
Em Am
Is safe from all you knew
G
I see the girl here
D
And she's smilin'
Em C
Missing two front teeth
G D
Age is three plus three
G
Well she's a'laughin'
D
Her hair is golden
Em
Her toes a tappin'
C D
To the robot band (let ring)
Em
I still see her now
C
Smiling
G
Her hair done up in bows
D
Her brown eyes twinkling
Em
She hummed a little song
C
For me
G
From a music box
D
Given by Mommy
Em D Em
Turn back the clock
D Em
Turn back the clock
D Am
Turn back the clock
Am
For my love song
[Instrumental]
G D E C
G
The autumns roll by
D
a young lady
Em
takes the child's place
C
Pig tailed freckled face
G
And she's a workin'
D
On a'growin'
Em
While the world does change
Am D
Her smile stays the same
Em
There is a woman
C
with a man
G
her hair is dyed black
D
But that smile it still came back
Em
After the curtain
C
She leaves a little box
G
A tiny dancer spins
D
Music plays from within
Em D Em
Turn back the clock
D Em
Turn back the clock
D Am
Turn back the clock
Am
For my love song
[Instrumental]
G D E C
G
A little girl sits
D
And she's laughin’
Em
She looks just like her
Am D
With her golden curls
G
The smile's there
D
It's not the same smile
Em
Where'd my girl run to
Am D
Will she be back soon?
Em
I see her now
C
Smiling
G
Come on back
D
To me
Em
Hum her little song
C
Where did she go?
G
Where did she go?
D
Where did she go?
D
Don't leave, Don't leave
Em D Em
Turn back the clock
D Em
Turn back the clock
D Am
Turn back the clock
Em D Em
Turn back the clock
D Em
Turn back the clock
D Am
Turn back the clock
Am
For my love song
G
