Song fact:- As the title suggests, the song is about reminiscing on lost love and the desire to turn back the clock and make things right. It’s a classic power ballad that showcases Cher’s vocal range and emotional depth. For Cher the song has personal significance. In several interviews, she has revealed that the lyrics reflect her own experience of regretting past mistakes and wishing she could have done things differently. ❤
I knew of this song for a while, but I never really listened to the lyrics. And I agree it is a very sad song. I think we all would like to turn back time.
My husband (42) didn't like Cher and would speak of her with derision until I purchased this album again last year. Next thing I knew I was coming home to this album blasting. Shes so great.
Song starts playing Deadpool: you forgot to clean the cream cheese spreader. I’ll be right back. we’re definitely naming our kids Cher. Peter. Peter: x-force. Deadpool: walk away Just walk away. Peter: but we’re x-force. Deadpool: No we’re not x-force is just a marketing tool. designed by fox executives. to keep Josh brolin employed. it doesn’t exist. Peter: okay well this has been pretty scary. and I need to feed my cat. Deadpool: go home sugar bear. go home. Peter: will you give domino my email. Song continues playing. Wolverine: wade is that you. Stryker finally figured out how to shut you up. Deadpool: hey it’s me. Don’t scratch. just cleaning up the timelines. look eventually you’re going to hang up the claws. and it going. to make a lot of people very sad. but just remember that before you do. your old pal wade. told you to get back in the Settle again. and when he does say yes. love you. You’re welcome Canada. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In case anyone didn't know - Cher's outfit was a complete surprise for the crew, because according to all discussions, arrangements, and storyboards she was meant to wear a jumpsuit. That's why the sailors' joy is 100% authentic.
And it is why you see her in jeans in other shots because she was almost banned for coming back on to finish the video. BIG NAVY was MAD as all get out when they found out what she wore.
Congratulations Cher on at long last making it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! This well-deserved honor should have been bestowed on you a LONG TIME ago. This video performance alone undeniably shows the world your many abilities, commitment to excellence and support to our military. You have long been an inspiration to America in many ways. Thank you!!
I was on the USS Mobile parked right by the Missouri when this was filmed. I was a signalman so I got to watch the entire thing through the BIG EYES. Amazing then, amazing now. Thanks for all the great memories Cher.
Hello from Germany.Thank you for your Service.My English is very **** . I hope you cant Translate. Hat Frau Cher ein ganzes Konzert dort gegeben? Und waren das alles Matrosen von dem Schiff ? Und was hat die Admiralität gesagt ? Die müssen doch einen Herzschlag bekommen haben, als die das Video das erste mal sahen.
Только вдумайтесь ей на видео 43 года!!! Не передать словами неописуемый восторг возникающий у меня при прослушивании и лицезрения подобной красоты! Браво!
CHER’S IDEA TO FILM THIS ON A NAVY BATTLESHIP IS WHAT SOLIDIFIES THIS SONG IN MUSIC HISTORY. ONLY CHER COULD PULL OFF MAKING A BATTLESHIP SEEM OUT OF THIS WORLD KOOL ❤❤❤❤❤.
Having been aboard several of our battleships that have been preserved, they're all out of this world cool. Cher just made them EXTREMELY out of this world cool.
My hubby past away a couple of months ago and this was our favourite song. I can’t help listening to it even though it makes me so sad but it makes me feel closer to him.
my love of 29 is close maybe 3 days this was our dance oops it will always be promise sorry for the hole you have but by his grace it will be filled peace
The universal anthem of of those of us who grew up in the 80's and made poor life and relationship choices , Cher certainly saw the writing on the wall , if only we could turn back time.
I served on the MO for over 2 years... Missed Cher filming this by a couple weeks... but I heard every last sordid detail about how our XO was so offended by her slingshot rig! LOL!
Never get tired of this video and the song, or the fact that (at 2:32) her 12 yr old son ( Elijah Blue Allman) is the little blonde hair dude playing the guitar... what a Mom to have!
Cher is a national treasure and I am so proud she is our treasure. Thank you Cher for being multi talented and what most of these performers today will never be. That is a true singer and artist.
I was a career Navy man , Grenada , , Beirut and 3 tours in the minefields of Persian gulf during the wars. This song meant so much to , so many of us during those deployments. Thank you CHER
Thank you for your service to our country. My brother in law retired after 35 years as a Army Ranger as a Colonel, my nephew is a Sargent in the National Guard as a Helicopter Mechanic, and my cousin retired as a Air Force Master Sergeant, and another by marriage who lost both of his legs in Vietnam.
Here a few but shame there not here anymore they died years ago 😢. Elvis Jim Morrission form the doors the band James Brown John Candy the Canadian Actor. They all could top it.
I remember belting out this song in my parents' living room when I was a kid. It makes me think with pride, love, admiration, and deep gratitude of all the generations of strong women that came before and with great love, hope and confidence for all the generations of strong women to come! 💜💜💜
My mom was a HUGE Cher fan so I've been listening to this amazing woman since birth. I'm 44 + lost my mum when I was 27 very unexpectedly. She was my best friend, my rock + I miss her so very much. Anytime I here Cher, especially this song, I think of her. If only we could turn back time...
My mother was a huge fan as well. I lost her when I was 19. She used to always sing this to me as a kid. 20 years later it's still kind of hard for me to listen to.
So sorry for your loss my mums just the same everytime shed be cleaning or getting ready for her darts night out cher would always be on her play list especially this song. I just hope i dnt have to say the same thing as you as im 29 this year and i always used to think my mum would live till i was atleas 50 but you proven me wrong 🙏❤😪
@@becky1993x I hope for you to have many more years, but life has many unexpected turns, so you never know. Just make the best of what there is left. That way you wont have any regrets.
Hey buddy, this is a really offensive and such an outdated opinion of the mightiest and most formidable Navy in the world... There are no straight guys in the navy.
I love the lyrics of this one. And she is a great performer as well as singer. And she has been doing this for over 50 years. Who can stand up with her and say the same. She’s one of a kind.
This song always reduces me to tears, I lost someone special, but I didn't have the patience or tolerance to appreciate her until she was gone!! I now realize those little things that bugged me were not worth me always protesting! If I could turn back time ❣️I have learned how to appreciate people more, because someone just may be tolerating me.
She knows. She is still with you and loves you unconditionally. You will see her again. Sending tons of love, light, healing, best wishes and kind thoughts 💜❤️💚🙏🙏🕊🕊
I grew up with Cher always doing her thang! She's a blessing to us all! This song carries each and all of us through our lives, memories, dreams, hopes and reality! She is still a treasure and an icon! 👍
My nan just passed away last month, september 14. This was her FAVOURITE song. We used to scream it in her car when driving to town with my poppy and he used to get mad at us because we would be too loud, especially at the ''OHHHHHHHH'' part, but we never cared. This was the first song played at her funeral, and she was my best friend. I miss her so much, and my heart aches but she will forever be with me. RIP nanny
My only grandmother I ever knew died 13 years ago I never even got to have many good memories with her at all, well atleast we had grandparents, my dad never even had grandparents his all died before he was even born.
I was in my early 20's when this came out. Cher was 40 I believe, 40 seemed a lifetime away for me. 62 today, where has the time gone. Sure wish I could turn back time. Live your life to the fullest.
Yeah but you got to be 20 years old at a glorious time in history, the 1980s. All them classic movies and music. You seen Madonna rolling about a stage, Michael Jackson at his peak, Guns N Roses change the world in 1987. You seen great sportsmen like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Mike Tyson, Wayne Gretzky. Also you were in your 30s in the 1990s which was the peak of our species. Now you're coming into the final stages of life you can look back and feel privileged you where lucky.... But you also got to see a lot of shit like the Aids epidemic, crack cocaine, two planes hitting the world trade centre, endless wars and suffering, and you had to watch a lot of people you knew die. It has its downsides as well, bro.
I remember when this first came on the television, my jaw hit the ground. All these years later, my jaw still hits the ground watching Cher in this video. She looked absolutely magnificent. Cher, xxx
I remember when this song came out and I was 17 my late partner was 20 and Cher and this song use to make him happy, and smile like he did and she was so exciting. She is definitely beautiful in every way. Her music will live on and on forever and ever.
I saw Cher- it was a last minute concert. But Cher actually looked and waved at me! And it made my life. I am sure I am just a tiny person, but she went out of her way. Classy, Strong and Amazing!
I'm 36 now a mother of three an I still go back to my teens jumping round the house with my friends it's mad how a single song can transport you back to your teens
While watching her "way back when" on the Sonny & Cher show, I knew she was someone extra special. Despite criticisms of any sort, she has used her natural talents to expand and grow. She is a star of the first magnitude!
Love that strong voice. She has always been a favorite. Loved watching her TV show. She stands alone with her music. What a performer. She is fun to sing along with.
Cousin murdered when we were both 14 this was her favourite song! Played at her funeral! Took me 15 years to listen to this song without crying like a baby 😢. Because she would not want that for me or anyone! I absolutely love this because now ❤️ i think of her in a positive way. We both share the song and it's a positive song for me now! My cousin was beautiful and I feel lucky i got 14 years with her❤. We would both be 50 next year if she was alive in life but she is in my heart ❤️ always! Forgiveness is the only answer to your pain and freedom! She would not want me to be hateful! ❤❤ Leigh thankyou for your love for 14 years ❤️.
Cher here is a living testament of defiance of age and the product of ageless beauty. Not to mention this song is one of my all-time favorites in my playlist.
That outfit is still till this day, one of the sexiest concert outfits I have ever seen a performer wear. Not many people could pull that off but she's very slim and that bandage managed to hide every intimate spot despite being very thin
Lyrics 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 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 (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 didnt 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 (Reach the stars)
I was stationed on board when she did this video. It was cool to see it. I was not part of the video as I was on duty that day. Would love to turn back time to those days. 🙂
This 80s classic absolutely rocks and still kicks ass 33 years later, Cher not only looked sexy but had the powerful voice to back up her looks, she was the whole package.
Absolutely beautiful lady and singer ,if I could turn back time, I wouldn't do anything different me and my husband had a beautiful marriage 2 beautiful children ,but my husband of 41 years passed away 9 months ago and our son died four days later after him RIP love you guys so much it hurts 💕
@@norfolksouthernrailfan2006 I didn't know that but I can honestly believe that to be true because I always saw this being shown in the evenings and never during the daytime. I think it's an iconic video and Cher looks absolutely smoking hot in that outfit 🔥❤️
It most likely won't if it's anything like their previous "remastered" videos where they're just artificially upscaled, but that would be a dream to watch!
Damn, props to her for absolutely rocking that outfit with the confidence of a goddess. I can't imagine how scandalous it must've been in the 80s, even after Prince and Madonna, but Cher absolutely slayed and made it iconic.
You should see the amount of 80's sexy poster I have when I was young (but strangely tbey are tasteful and not that dirty compares to what model are now)
Actually, yes, it was very scandalous when that video came out. I remember it well. Cher snuck that outfit in at the last minute. She was known for her risqué, almost nude outfits and she was one of a kind. She carried it well and basically thumbed her nose at everyone. The 80s were far far more conservative than nowadays. I can't believe some of the outfits celebrities wear and outright porn in MVs these days.
@@apveening Oh, it was scandalous. MTV was forced to air it only after 9 PM after protests. We were all talking about her showing her butt at that time because it was unheard of to see anything like that on television.
Was in high school when this came out and it was just too much. Might have seen this a million times and after all this time it still manages to be one of the greatest music videos of all time.
Best music video ever! First and last time the US Navy allowed a music video to be shot on a destroyer with the crew, so great, absolutely fantastic. The cannon effects are to die for. Thank you Cher, you absolutely smashed it! ❤
Cher is timeless and easily in the top 5 female music artists ever. Wish I could go back to the first time I saw her in concert. Such a legend and so inspiring. Thanks for all you've given for the gay community 🥰🥰🥰
This song pulled me through a very difficult time in my life a divorce , I lost my brother then I lost my mother the day after I buried my brother then my sister a month later I was a total mess.But I thank God I had enough faith to keep going for my young son and daughter and this song from Cher..

The greatest pop video in history. Cher's greatest song, iconic U.S. battleship from WW11, sensational stuff.
Totally kick ass song!!!!
dang we had 9 more World Wars i thought she was one one from WWII
World War Eleven? Have i been in a coma?
WW11 was the shit!
Suck it, French Polynasia !!!
USA, USA, USA!!!
I couldn't agree more...the GREATEST music video in history!
It's 2024 and that song still rocks. There is not a person out there that wouldn't want to turn back time to relive a moment in their lives.
Song starts playing
Deadpool: you forgot to clean the cream cheese spreader. I’ll be right back. we’re definitely naming our kids Cher.
Peter.
Peter: x-force.
Deadpool: walk away
Just walk away.
Peter: but we’re x-force.
Deadpool: No we’re not x-force is just a marketing tool. designed by fox executives. to keep Josh brolin employed. it doesn’t exist.
Peter: okay well this has been pretty scary. and I need to feed my cat.
Deadpool: go home sugar bear. go home.
Peter: will you give domino my email.

I am Japanese and I love 80's American music. I also love this song of hers. It brings back many memories.
This is peak America. The boat, Cher's voice, Cher's bod...all fire. Forgot how fantastic this video is.
It was 1989 and the greatest decade ever was coming to a close .... in the most glorious way
In case anyone didn't know - Cher's outfit was a complete surprise for the crew, because according to all discussions, arrangements, and storyboards she was meant to wear a jumpsuit.
That's why the sailors' joy is 100% authentic.
And it is why you see her in jeans in other shots because she was almost banned for coming back on to finish the video. BIG NAVY was MAD as all get out when they found out what she wore.
This was one of the most dynamic performances ever.
Cher rules❤!
Congratulations Cher on at long last making it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! This well-deserved honor should have been bestowed on you a LONG TIME ago. This video performance alone undeniably shows the world your many abilities, commitment to excellence and support to our military. You have long been an inspiration to America in many ways. Thank you!!
👆👏👏👏
❤
Well said!
She's better than the rock and roll hall of fame. Full stop.
Begin a navy veteran (MA2) and being from Cleveland and a cher fan I hope she comes . She said she wouldn't but her fans would love to see her
I was on the USS Mobile parked right by the Missouri when this was filmed. I was a signalman so I got to watch the entire thing through the BIG EYES. Amazing then, amazing now. Thanks for all the great memories Cher.

CHER’S IDEA TO FILM THIS ON A NAVY BATTLESHIP IS WHAT SOLIDIFIES THIS SONG IN MUSIC HISTORY. ONLY CHER COULD PULL OFF MAKING A BATTLESHIP SEEM OUT OF THIS WORLD KOOL ❤❤❤❤❤.
Having been aboard several of our battleships that have been preserved, they're all out of this world cool. Cher just made them EXTREMELY out of this world cool.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mine past away right at 2 years ago. He passed away way too soon.
I love that her awesome son is playing the guitar in her video, too! She is our royalty ☺️🥰
His father was the legendary Gregg Allman.
I was going to ask if that was her and Greg's son.
Sure looks like him....
Imagine seeing your mom like that...💀
@@Prismatic_Truth Embarrassing. My folks and I saw this video on TV when I was 5 years old and Mum commented that she thought Cher was naked.
Omg that's her son.

Amen!!!! Well said!!!👍👍👏👏
La vida son experiencias y poco a poco vamos aprendiendo lo importante es seguir caminando
Couldn't have said it better.
NO ONE has a # 1 hit in every decade since the 1960s Except Cher
The life she had with Sonny ..she deserves all that on the ship and more such a brilliant artist and woman.
I served on the MO for over 2 years... Missed Cher filming this by a couple weeks... but I heard every last sordid detail about how our XO was so offended by her slingshot rig! LOL!
Never get tired of this video and the song, or the fact that (at 2:32) her 12 yr old son ( Elijah Blue Allman) is the little blonde hair dude playing the guitar... what a Mom to have!
And he went on to be in the group Deadsy 😮
Thanks, i was wondering about the young guitarist. Awesome.
Cher is a national treasure and I am so proud she is our treasure. Thank you Cher for being multi talented and what most of these performers today will never be. That is a true singer and artist.
Beautifully said!
Just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.... what took so long???

Thank you my brother in arms
Beruit Lebanon was hell on earth, always on my mind. Songs like this kinda ease my mind, and forget for awhile
I was a Battleship sailor, USS Wisconsin BB-64, Cher did good to the Battleship Navy, but the Navy brass didn't like her!
I don't think anyone else could have ever pulled this off as great as she did!
Right
Here a few but shame there not here anymore they died years ago 😢.

John Candy the Canadian Actor. They all could top it.
Absolutely!!! Goosebumps of a song and her vocals are insane!!

If I could turn back time and listen to this song for the first time again, I so would
Cher.. one of the the most talented and sexiest vocalists ever to walk the earth. She is a one of a kind.
You know the navy was the best pick for this video, cause both gays and straights would go equally as crazy for Cher.
why would there be straights in the Navy? that's heresy.
Yeah this is a recipe for insanity, good God Cher!
But also only the Navy had the USS Mighty Mo.

Loved this video when it came out in 1989 on MTV, and I love it just as much today!
@@kimmieh8419 Absolutely.
I've met her twice. A Cher doll tops my Christmas tree
I remember when this song came out and I was 17 my late partner was 20 and Cher and this song use to make him happy, and smile like he did and she was so exciting. She is definitely beautiful in every way. Her music will live on and on forever and ever.
It never gets old - The voice of an Angel
These boys got one hell of a show to thank them for their service. Cher is awesome!
I saw Cher- it was a last minute concert. But Cher actually looked and waved at me! And it made my life. I am sure I am just a tiny person, but she went out of her way.
Classy, Strong and Amazing!
I love this song. Cher is a amazing artist . One of a kind.
She's amazing the best ever ❤❤❤ the song is beautiful too ❤️
❤
Why are we kissing her ass, people?
@@sunshinealways789 You're not wrong.
Good rock balads
I'm 36 now a mother of three an I still go back to my teens jumping round the house with my friends it's mad how a single song can transport you back to your teens
If I Could Turn Back Time, by Cher is a Great Classic Song and it keeps Rocking Today!!! 🎊🥳🎉
I'm only 35 but for some reason I remember this song and video being a HUGE deal when I was younger. My mom was a huge cher and celine dion fan.
At 35 u weren’t born or at most a few months old when this was released. 😊Wow what a memory u must have!!!
While watching her "way back when" on the Sonny & Cher show, I knew she was someone extra special. Despite criticisms of any sort, she has used her natural talents to expand and grow. She is a star of the first magnitude!
Thats so beautiful xxxxx she is a legend
Louisiana does it only the Best.
she is so awesome
she is an ICON Awsome...my ARMENIAN SISTER
@@debbiekearns2985 yep beats the hell out of Dolly Parton I think they are same age
This is and will be always my most memorable performance... Cher at her best and giving the audience 1001%
Sexy
Beautiful
A song about transition, but it truly could be any transition you have In life that you regret...
What a wonderful timeless song😢
Tell me this don't take us back to the 80's . I love it ! I'm 54 now and my God how fast time goes by . Love me some Cher !
I'm also 54, the last 30+ years have flown by....
I'm 54 also..
It makes me wanna turn back time to a time I hadn’t heard this song
I'm 22 and I love this song 🎵
What an amazing song ! Cher is out of this world! This song always maked me cry...Am I the only one who tears up with song .....
No, you're definitely not the only one...
When music was real. No filters needed for Cher. True beauty and talent.
her Lif After Love is actually a banger!
Love that they kept in as much of the sailors' shouting in the mix as they did. Enough to be present, but not covering up the song
She’s awesome and her wanting to do her video with the ones who protect us is even more awesome!!
Cher is my idol. I was a kid when the Sonny and Cher show was on TV. Love her music. She also is a great actress. Love this song. Cher still rocks.
Hello 👋🏼 how's your day going so far?
Love love CHER, I have seen Cher 2 times in the 1990's @ van andle arena in G.R.
Yes I also watched that show 😊
My whole family watched them. I was 10 or 11.
😊 1:05 😊 1:08
Love that strong voice. She has always been a favorite. Loved watching her TV show. She stands alone with her music. What a performer. She is fun to sing along with.
Cousin murdered when we were both 14 this was her favourite song! Played at her funeral! Took me 15 years to listen to this song without crying like a baby 😢. Because she would not want that for me or anyone! I absolutely love this because now ❤️ i think of her in a positive way. We both share the song and it's a positive song for me now! My cousin was beautiful and I feel lucky i got 14 years with her❤. We would both be 50 next year if she was alive in life but she is in my heart ❤️ always! Forgiveness is the only answer to your pain and freedom! She would not want me to be hateful! ❤❤ Leigh thankyou for your love for 14 years ❤️.
I'm truly sorry for your loss under such awful circumstances. I hope this song now brings you some peace...
You wanna see the most confident woman beautiful with amazing voice ?????? Watch Cher all day long . She is an American spirit .
And Armenian looks and tenacity
Cher is the epitome of an ICON.
Cher here is a living testament of defiance of age and the product of ageless beauty. Not to mention this song is one of my all-time favorites in my playlist.
Plastic surgery helps with that
@@Atlxtreme25 exactly, like thanks to Chers pioneering efforts, I dont think that woman has even hit puberty.😂😂😂
Cher is the most amazing woman/
@@Atlxtreme25 for sure, we could live well off of all the money she put out for plastic, not to mention 'chaz' funds.....js
I'm here from reddit. Man, Cher is an icon.
Hello fellow r/TIL enjoyer
ah yes that post
Gonna grab my spot on the bench here
Ah yes good afternoon gents
Same here buddy 😳 💥
This is the best music video ever made. I remember when I was a twelve year kid and this came out. It was a modern classic in 1989. God bless Cher.
Cher has one of those voices that I truly love - great song, awesome video!
@@ivanbondarchuk9360: What about Tina Turner??

Me I'm 61. 80s will always be my music!!!
i have 57 and im agree
Me I'm 41- 80s still the best music, the best cars...the best lifestyle...
i'm also 61 years old now and mmmm.....this is my favorite singer from my youth.
Listen awful lot of semen on that ship with Cher I mean it's just totally covered in semen
That ship is completely covered in semen totally covered in semen chair
Timeless! Love it.
She needs to be in rock and roll hall of fame. Why is she not???
Who is against it? I think she deserve it!
Especially if Pat Benitar, Joan Jett and Janis Joplin and Bonnie Tyler are
@@bobbenbrown123Damn straight!!
Cause she's not rock n roll, shes consider pop
It's criminal!!
ICONIC!!! As iconic as her 🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥 There will never be another Cher!!! ✨👑✨ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MY ETERNAL QUEEN!!! 👑💖🤟🏻♾
Well the stronger Gene survive I do believe there are women who look like her because of the strong genes
She doesn't take herself that serious but she gives everything she does her ALL ✌️❤️
I have a fan of cher for about 45 years as well as Cyndi Lauper , they are both great singers and it's good to still hear their music these days
This is a classic. Inspiring AF how talented Cher is. Love you ♥
That outfit is still till this day, one of the sexiest concert outfits I have ever seen a performer wear. Not many people could pull that off but she's very slim and that bandage managed to hide every intimate spot despite being very thin
The leather jacket adds a lot. Performers today wouldn't have added it.
Lyrics
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
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
(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 didnt 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
(Reach the stars)
Beautiful 😅😅😅
❤❤❤❤
October, 2024. My husband, Navy sailor in the ‘60 ashes to be laid to rest this week. Loved his time in the service-would turn back time for him❤
I was stationed on board when she did this video. It was cool to see it. I was not part of the video as I was on duty that day. Would love to turn back time to those days. 🙂
This was the Missouri that the Japanese surrender was taken on - Historic - and she captured it on video.
Realy?
Mama loved too hear u sing
Wasn't she decommissioned in '55?
turn back time :)
One of THE most incredible singers of all time.
This 80s classic absolutely rocks and still kicks ass 33 years later, Cher not only looked sexy but had the powerful voice to back up her looks, she was the whole package.
Absolutely beautiful lady and singer ,if I could turn back time, I wouldn't do anything different me and my husband had a beautiful marriage 2 beautiful children ,but my husband of 41 years passed away 9 months ago and our son died four days later after him RIP love you guys so much it hurts 💕
@@KINGBOY-vi3sb I am so sorry for your loss but they will always be with you in your heart and they live on through you
Du hast meine Meinung Sie ist Super
If you didn't know this MTV banned this video from playing in the daytime because of what she was wearing.
@@norfolksouthernrailfan2006 I didn't know that but I can honestly believe that to be true because I always saw this being shown in the evenings and never during the daytime. I think it's an iconic video and Cher looks absolutely smoking hot in that outfit 🔥❤️
If only i can turn back time 13days back, just to see my father 1 last time
This better be remastered in 4K. This is ICONIC
This comment is so true, the comment also needs to be remastered in 4k
It most likely won't if it's anything like their previous "remastered" videos where they're just artificially upscaled, but that would be a dream to watch!
It's been artificially upscaled. The only way to really do this right would be to re-scan the original film footage, if it still exists.
@@Alpha8713 Yep, it's a shame that they did that
Nope. This is all original
Never gets old, one of the best performances ever
Yes, Cher's totally bangin' in this performance! She straight-up epitomizes rock'n'roll. Till the wheelz fall off......
For me, one, off the best performance on stage off ever...
Cher is one of the best pop music artists with a fascinating great voice and already a legend.
Damn, props to her for absolutely rocking that outfit with the confidence of a goddess. I can't imagine how scandalous it must've been in the 80s, even after Prince and Madonna, but Cher absolutely slayed and made it iconic.
It wasn't that scandalous in the 80s, the pendulum has swung back to more prudish times since.
@@apveening Funny isn't it :D weird times...
You should see the amount of 80's sexy poster I have when I was young (but strangely tbey are tasteful and not that dirty compares to what model are now)
Actually, yes, it was very scandalous when that video came out. I remember it well. Cher snuck that outfit in at the last minute. She was known for her risqué, almost nude outfits and she was one of a kind. She carried it well and basically thumbed her nose at everyone. The 80s were far far more conservative than nowadays. I can't believe some of the outfits celebrities wear and outright porn in MVs these days.
@@apveening Oh, it was scandalous. MTV was forced to air it only after 9 PM after protests. We were all talking about her showing her butt at that time because it was unheard of to see anything like that on television.
One of the greatest pop songs of all time !
Who’s doesn’t know this Iconic song ? 🤍🎶
Whoever doesn’t lives under a rock
The talibans...
imagine a Wilson girl singing this
She’s in the best of the best 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She’s very special and talented ❤️
Do you think the USS Missouri sees this as the coolest or the second-coolest thing to happen on its deck?
Was in high school when this came out and it was just too much. Might have seen this a million times and after all this time it still manages to be one of the greatest music videos of all time.
i graduated h.s. in 89 and this was all over the tv and radio that summer. good times!
@@ZeeboLaywicker I barely even watched MTV as a 12-year-old back then and still managed to see it.
When this song came out. The lyrics hit me in my gut. I think everyone can relate this song. Still a great and powerful song.
You sure it wasn't something you ate for lunch?
Best music video ever! First and last time the US Navy allowed a music video to be shot on a destroyer with the crew, so great, absolutely fantastic. The cannon effects are to die for.
Thank you Cher, you absolutely smashed it! ❤
Mate, that’s a battleship, not a destroyer
Have you seen "Join the navy" by the village people?
@@bigships Yep, that's Cher all right.
But what type of vessel is that, sailor?
@@robertriordan1823 USS Missouri, Third vessel of the Iowa Class Battleships
A Navy destroyer has 16-inch guns? Who knew.
An all time classic !!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Cher is timeless and easily in the top 5 female music artists ever. Wish I could go back to the first time I saw her in concert. Such a legend and so inspiring. Thanks for all you've given for the gay community 🥰🥰🥰
easily top 3 female artists of all time, imo
I have been a huge fan of Cher since 1966. I love her and her music more now than then. She proved to be the Icon she is!!
I grew up with Cher, born in late 1960s it was our epic favorite.I've followed for 54 years now! I've got all the music!!
Great singer, Beautiful person inside and out Love you Cher
Thank you Cher:) Now the TVA is chasing our Wade Wilson because of your Song haha🥲
If l could turn back time I'll be looking forward for your help to end my anxiety
This song pulled me through a very difficult time in my life a divorce , I lost my brother then I lost my mother the day after I buried my brother then my sister a month later I was a total mess.But I thank God I had enough faith to keep going for my young son and daughter and this song from Cher..
I had a very difficult time in my life this song gave me strength to get through the rough times..Thank GOD 🥹
Are you doing OK?♤.
@@jamesjanuary1969 👍🏽 I Thank GOD.. Thank you for asking!
Love all of Chers songs. Such truth to the lyrics if I could turn back time. Such an amazing voice.
I still adore her special style and personality. Also love her music.
