Does anyone have the lyrics and chords for the old Eddie Fisher song Turn Back The Hands Of Time circa. about 1951? Not a folk song I know but self conscious and wonderful words! Hope you can help. Jeff

TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
(Jack Daniels & Bonnie Thompson, 1970)

Turn back the hands of time
Roll back the sands of time
Bring back our dream divine
Let's live it over again

So in love and all a dream
Stars above were all agleam
We were only seventeen
Ah, but we knew

Chapel bells were all a-chime
It was apple blossom time
While I held your hand in mine
Our dream came true

Turn back the hands of time
Roll back the sands of time
Bring back our dream divine
Let's live it over again

(Turn back the hands of time)
(Roll back the sands of time)
(Bring back our dream divine)
(Let's live it over again)

Oh, to know your charms again
Hold you in my arms again
Whisper that I'm yours again
Yours till I die

Oh, to find the star so bright
Lovely till the morning light
If my heart could sing tonight
How it would cry

Turn back the hands of time
Roll back the sands of time
Bring back our dream divine
Let's live it over again

Turn back the hands of time
Roll back the sands of time
Bring back our dream divine
Let's live it over again

I found that this waltz-tune song was written by Jack Daniels & Bonnie Thompson, published in 1970.
