The Canadian Soldiers' Song Book/If I Could Turn the Clock Back a Year

77—IF I COULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK A YEAR

If I could turn the clock back just one year,
If angry words might be forgotten too
Whether sleeping or waking, my heart is aching,
I can think of nothing in all the world but you
I miss those nights of gladness, days of joy,
And all those blissful moments ever dear
I dream of you—and sunny flow'rs,
And all the love that might be ours,
If I could turn the clock back only just one year.
