Turn On Back

Wondering how my world turned so lonely        
Watching the light fade away
Wishing to turn on back to your love

​

Sunrise doesn’t last all morning                      
Beauty stolen by the day

​

I wanted to turn on back        
but now I just  can’t do that
I tried and I held too long        
and now I just can’t go on
I’m thinking what have I done

​

Days long gone by        
all the tears we cried
I’m in this way too deep    
to put my dream to sleep
It wasn’t yours to keep
How we lie to one another

​

I wanted to turn on back        
but now I just can’t do that
I’ve followed my dream too long and lost your love 

​

Sunsets never last all evening    
colors slowly fade to grey
I wanted to turn on back        
but now I just  can’t do that
I left and then you moved on         
and now I just can’t go on

​

I wanted to turn on back        
I tried and I can’t do that
I’m thinking what have I done

​

Day upon day night upon nighttime    
I see our light slowly drift away
Good bye.  Good  bye.
