paroles de chanson Clock up on the Wall - Joe South

(Oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo)

Once your love was mine alone to have and to hold
Then I overlooked a diamond while searchin' for gold
I'd give the world to find a way
To go back to yesterday
But that old clock up on the wall won't let me

What does true love mean to a kid actin' smart?
So as time ticked away, soon we drifted apart
I wish I could go back somehow
Knowin' then what I know now
But that old clock up on the wall won't let me

I passed up the door to paradise in search of ecstasy
Too late I realized I loved you so
And I wish I had the power
To return for just one hour
But I seem to hear that old clock sayin' "No, no, no
You can't go, no"

(La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La)

Now, all that I've got left is just a blue memory
So ends another page in a fool's history
'Cause there's nothin' that I can do
To bring back the love we knew
No, that old (Clock up on the wall)
What did you say? (Won't let me)
Goin' won't let me, no, no, no, no (Clock up on the wall)
No, it won't let me
It just keeps on tickin' away (Clock up on the wall)
Oh, you won't let me turn back the time, now, now
Clock up on the wall (Won't let me)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Clock up on the wall)
No, you won't let me
Ain't no sense in tryin' (Clock up on the wall won't let me)
