Turn Back The Universe (And Give Me Yesterday)
Composer(s): Ernest R. Ball - J. Keirn Brennan



It seems so long ago, although 'twas only yesterday 
when just a word in anger heard our lives should part for aye 
With faith so strong we thought no wrong could tear our heart strings then 
what would I give could I but live the days that might have been!

My soul I'd give to live the happy days beyond recall 
when you were near and to you, dear, I gave my love, my all 
A perfect past too good to last, is all I dream of now 
I hope and wait and trust to fate to bring you back some how!

Turn back the universe and give me yesterday 
unclasp the hands of time that hold life's golden ray 
Take back that bitter hour when our love passed away 
turn back the universe and give me yesterday!
