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
