HIVEOPENMIC WEEK#133~` R. KELLY- IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME (COVER)

Hello, this is Hive Open Mic week #133,my name is Rukkie and am happy to participate in this week's challenge. The theme for this week is opportunity and I will be singing a song by R Kelly titled: If I could turn back the hands of time.
I am dedicating the song to myself because if I had the opportunity to go back in time, I think I'd be in a better position than I am right now. I wish I had done somethings differently. I did myself wrong by not taking some steps, afraid of what people will say, afraid to come out of my shell.
So if I have another chance, I will give my all. I will choose ME.

Below is the lyrics of the song

How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song some day
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door

[1] - If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then darlin' you, you'd still be mine

Funny, funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I pray please come back to me

[Repeat 1]

And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I, I did you wrong, I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone, whoa

[Repeat 1]

I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands

There'd be nothing I wouldn't do for you
(If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you
(If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
(If I could turn back the hands)

(If I could turn back)
That would be my will
(If I could turn back)
Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
(If I could turn back the hands)

I'm going down, yes I am
(If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee, yeah
(If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
(If I could turn back the hands)

(If I could turn back)
If I could just turn back that little clock on the wall
(If I could turn back)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you
Love you love you love you
(If I could turn back the hands)

Thanks to the brilliant artist @sekani for choosing this theme and to #Hiveopenmic for giving me the opportunity to come out of my shell and say "I LOVE ME" and I will never give up. Thanks for watching.

A continuación, la letra de la canción

Cómo te dejé escapar
Sin saber que algún día cantaría esta canción
Y ahora me estoy hundiendo, hundiendo para no levantarme más
Desde que cerraste la puerta

[1] - Si pudiera girar, retroceder las manecillas del tiempo
Entonces, mi querida, todavía serías mía
Si pudiera girar, hacer retroceder las manecillas del tiempo
Entonces, querida, todavía serías mía

Es curioso, es curioso cómo pasa el tiempo
Y las bendiciones se pierden en un abrir y cerrar de ojos
Por qué, por qué, por qué hay que seguir sufriendo
Cuando cada día rezo para que vuelvas a mí

[Repite 1]

Y tenías suficiente amor para los dos
Pero yo, yo, te hice mal, admito que lo hice
Pero ahora estoy enfrentando el resto de mi vida solo, whoa

[Repite 1]

Nunca te haría daño (Si pudiera volver atrás)
Nunca te haré mal (Si pudiera volver atrás)
Y nunca dejaría tu lado (Si pudiera volver atrás)
Si pudiera volver atrás las manos

No habría nada que no haría por ti
(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Siempre honesto y fiel a ti
(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Si me aceptas de nuevo en tu corazón, te amo
(Si pudiera volver atrás las manos)

(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Esa sería mi voluntad
(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Querida, te ruego que me tomes de las manos
(Si pudiera volver atrás las manos)

Voy a caer, sí, voy a caer
(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Abajo en mi rodilla doblada, sí
(Si pudiera volver atrás)

Y voy a estar ahí hasta que vuelvas a mí
(Si pudiera volver atrás las manos)

(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Si pudiera volver atrás ese pequeño reloj en la pared
(Si pudiera volver atrás)
Then I'd come to realize how much I love you
Te quiero te quiero te quiero
(Si pudiera retroceder las manecillas)

Gracias a la genial artista @sekani por elegir este tema y a #Hiveopenmic por darme la oportunidad de salir de mi caparazón y decir "ME AMO" y nunca me rendiré. Gracias por ver.
