If I Could Turn Back Time.

If I Could Turn Back Time.

Well you can tomorrow morning as residents of Co. Tipperary will “turn back time” themselves, thus enjoying an extra hour in bed, when clocks are put back one hour at 2:00am (Sun, October 27th, 2024), ending summertime officially until Sunday March 30th 2025 next.

Vocals: American singer, actress, and television personality Cher (Cherilyn Sarkisian).
Lyrics: American songwriter; two Golden Globe Award winner; Emmy Award winner; Grammy Award winner and Academy Honorary Award winner, Diane Eve Warren.

If I Could Turn Back Time.

If I could turn back time.
If I could find a way,
I’d take back those words that have hurt you,
And you’d stay.
I don’t know why I did the things I did,
I don’t know why I said the things I said,
Pride’s like a knife, it can cut deep inside.
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes.
I didn’t really mean to hurt you,
I didn’t wanna see you go,
I know I made you cry, but baby,
If I could turn back time,
If I could find a way,
I’d take back those words that have hurt you,
You’d stay.
If I could reach the stars,
I’d give ’em all to you.
Then you’d love me, love me,
Like you used to do.
(If I could turn back time)
My world was shattered, I was torn apart,
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart.
When you walked out that door,
I swore that I didn’t care,
But I lost every thing, darlin’, then and there.
Too strong to tell you I was sorry,
Too proud to tell you I was wrong,
I know that I was blind, and darlin,’
If I could turn back time,
If I could find a way,
I’d take back those words that have hurt you,
And you’d stay.
If I could reach the stars,
I’d give ’em all to you,
Then you’d love me, love me,
Like you used to do, ohh,
If I could turn back time.
(If I could turn back time.)
If I could turn back time.
(If I could turn back time.)
If I could turn back time, ohh baby,
I didn’t really mean to hurt you.
I didn’t wanna see you go.
I know I made you cry,
But ohh,
If I could turn back time.
If I could find a way,
I’d take back those words that have hurt you.
If I could reach the stars,
I’d give them all to you,
Then you’d love me, love me,
Like you used to do.
If I could turn back time,
(Turn back time.)
If I could find a way, (Find a way.)
Then maybe, maybe, maybe you’d stay.
(If I could reach the stars…….)

I Would Like To See You Again.

I Would Like To See You Again.

Vocals: The late, great American country music singer, songwriter, Don Williams [Donald Ray Williams] (1939 – 2017).
Lyrics: The late American songwriter Charlie Craig (1938 – 2011).

I Would Like To See You Again.

I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about some old times,
Some old times, some old friends,
And suddenly it came across my mind,
I would like to see you again.
Remember how we used to walk and talk,
Walk and talk, holdin’ hands,
We said we loved each other I recall,
We made a lot of future plans.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
It’s funny how a feeling will come back,
It’ll come on back, make you blue,
Cause I just saw a picture in my mind,
Bout a time, of me and you.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
And tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
Yes the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.

Clash Of Ash – Poem By Tom Ryan

Clash Of Ash.

Clash Of Ash. ©

The under twelve camogie girls,
Little and lithe and lovely,
Under warrior helmets, visors and all,
Screamed at the winter sky,
In the field where leather meets ash.
Pull and crack,
What craic!
Little Josie, hurley high, screams to heaven,
At Thurles Sarsfields’ Bill,
Who had showed them how to bend and strike,
And first time pull for goal.
Like Bill himself in glorious days,
On summer sun-soaked hurling fields,
Times distant and delightful to recall,
“Bill, Bill,” she shouts, time and time once more,
“Oh,Bill I want to play with her”.
A plea to waiting mums familiar,
When all those mums were girls,
When Bill and I were boys.

A Song For A Sunday.

What A Wonderful World.

Lyricists: American record producer Bob Thiele and American songwriter and arranger George David Weiss.
Vocals: American trumpeter and vocalist Louis Daniel Armstrong (nicknamed “Satchmo”).

What A Wonderful World.

I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.

The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”
.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more,
Than I’ll ever know,
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Pledging My Love.

Forever my darling, our love will be true,
Always and forever, I’ll love only you.
Just promise me darling, your love in return,
May this fire in my soul dear, forever burn.
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold,
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal.
I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days,
I’ll never part from you and your loving ways.
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold,
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal.
I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days,
I’ll never part from you and your loving ways.
