If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time

R. Kelly

Transposer:

How did I ever let you slip away Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more Ever since you closed the door   If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then my darlin' you'd still be mine   If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine   Funny, funny how time goes by And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye Why, oh, why, oh, why should one have to go on suffering When every day I pray please come back to me If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then my darlin' you'd still be mine   If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine   And you had enough love for the both of us But I,  I, I did you wrong, I admit I did But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone Who ho who ho ho If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then my darlin' you'd still be mine    Who ho who ho ho If I could turn, turn back the hands of time Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine   Who I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back) Never do you wrong (If I could turn back) And never leave your side (If I could turn back) If I could turn back the hands There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back) Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back) If you accept me back in your heart, I love you (If I could turn back the hands) (If I could turn back) That would be my will (If I could turn back) Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands (If I could turn back the hands) I'm going down, yes I am (If I could turn back) Down on my bended knee, yeah (If I could turn back) And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me (If I could turn back the hands) Who ho who ho ho (If I could turn back) If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall (If I could turn back) Then I'd come to realize how much I love you Love you love you love you (If I could turn back the hands) I love you If I could turn, turn back the hands If I could turn, turn back the hands If I could turn, turn back the hands ...

Cette chanson évoque le regret et la nostalgie d'un amour perdu. L'auteur se remémore les moments passés avec sa bien-aimée et souhaite ardemment pouvoir revenir en arrière pour réparer ses erreurs. Il ressent une profonde tristesse depuis qu'elle a quitté sa vie et espère qu'elle pourra revenir, tout en reconnaissant qu'il a agi de manière injuste envers elle. Le contexte semble être une réflexion sur les conséquences de ses actes, ainsi qu'une quête de rédemption. L'artiste exprime un désir désespéré de changer le passé, réalisant que chaque moment compte et que parfois les bénédictions peuvent être perdues en un clin d'œil. C’est une méditation sur la douleur de la solitude et la puissance de l'amour.
