In a womb you're curled up cosy
Smiling still oblivious to the world
You're part of the sweetest lady
Much like an oyster and a pearl
Cradled first by arms so human
Anything that's next is second best
You can hear the heart inside her
As she holds you closer to her chest
No feathers down below ya
There's nothing there to break your fall
You're on your own this time
Come back and hold on to me
This time don't ever let me go
If I could turn back time
Swaddling clothes wrapped up tightly
Not the slightest care of what's to come
She had dreams of fame and fortune
With expectations of what you'll become
Saddened by the sound of your tears
She will move you gently to your dreams
Turning through the pages of the book
She reads you while you lie asleep
No blanket to hold on to
And there's no hand to pat your back
You're all alone this time
No one to tell you stories
No happy endings say goodbye
If I could turn back time
If only If only I
If only If only I
If only If only I
If only I could turn back time
