Smokey Robinson & The Miracles — The Reel of Time

[Intro] Oh yeah Ooh baby (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) [Verse] Winter's rain is overflowing Where a spring love once was growing Turn back the reel of time When love was mine, so sweet and kind Now through tears of lonely sorrow I see a storm coming tomorrow When my mind speaks your name I can't stand the pain, I'm going insane [Pre-Chorus] The slamming of the door, your footsteps fading fast Are locked inside my mind, memories of the past Now in despair, I keep trying to go back there When love was true, baby, oh baby, I need you Yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] This hurt my heart's embracing Is just a sample of what I'm facing Turn back the reel of time When love was mine, so sweet and kind [Bridge] Ooh-ooh-ooh Mmm (Bring back the days when love was still sweet to me) Ooh (Baby) Ooh [Pre-Chorus] Holding on to my pride, I let you walk away When down on my knees, I should have begged you to stay With hands of glue, I should have held on to you Now what can I do? Ah, baby, baby, I love you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Fate, deal me another hand Let me play that scene again Turn back the reel of time When love was mine, so sweet and kind Oh, so I can find peace of mind Turn back the reel, the reel of time [Outro] Oh, baby, baby, love me (Baby, baby, love me) Like in dreams of yesterday (Baby, baby, love me) Ooh-ooh-ooh (Turn back to the days I could see) (There was love there waiting for me) (Not an empty room without a key) Turn back, oh baby, the reel of time
