Live 15 Nov 2022 version
[Spoken intro (Jimmy Fallon):] Performing "Turn Back The Hands Of Time" from his new album, "Only the Strong Survive," give it up for Bruce Springsteen!
Two. One, two, three.
Oh darling, I'm so lonely without you
I can't sleep at night, just thinking about you
But if I had the chance to start all over
I'd be wishing today on a four-leaf clover
And leaving would be the last thing on my mind
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
Oh darling, mm I can't hold out much longer
Mm the pain's so deep and my hurt's getting stronger
But if I had just one more try
I'd be yours alone until the day that I die
And we'd have a love so divine
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
If I turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
Come on!
Alright
Whoa!
I need you!
Alright
Oh darling, please, please let me come back home
Your love's been so good to me, baby, and without it I just can't go on
You're the other half that makes my life complete
If I had one more chance we'd have a love so sweet
And leaving would be the last thing on my mind
Leaving would be the last thing on my mind
I said leaving would be the last thing on my mind
If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
(If I could turn back the hands of time) If I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
(If I could turn back the hands of time) If I had just one more chance
(If I could turn back the hands of time) Just one more chance, baby
(If I could turn back the hands of time) If I had just one more chance
(If I could turn back the hands of time) Ooh, oh come on band
(If I could turn back the hands of time)
Whoa!
The above lyrics are for the live 15 Nov 2022 performance of TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME during the taping of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The NBC show is filmed in Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York City, NY. The song was played in its full band album arrangement.
For his only TV appearance to promote his Only The Strong Survive album, Bruce Springsteen "took over" The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with four nights of performances.
On the four The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performances, Springsteen was backed by a band mainly consisting of the same members of the band that appeared in the music videos of the four singles from Only The Strong Survive.
