​Turn Back The Years Lyrics And Chords By Foster And Allen

​It was just like yesterday they were young and full of play
And walls would echo laughter all around
She would wash and cook and sow for each one as they grow
For a mother's love is endless and sincere.

Chorus.
If she could turn back the years, turn back the years.
When she had them all beside her.
If she could turn back the years, turn back the years.
When she had them all around her.
Now she has to live on dreams.

But she had to watch them go to foreign lands you know
For ther isn't any work for them at home
Now the house it is so still at the foot of that old hill
And this is what a mother's wish would be.

If she could turn back the years, turn back the years.
When she had them all beside her.
If she could turn back the years, turn back the years.
When she had them all around her.
Now she has to live on dreams
She has to live on dreams.
