Billy Joel - turn around

화자는 사랑했던 엘리사에게 돌아오기를 간절히 원하며, 함께했던 시간과 그리움을 회상한다
상대방이 과거를 잊고 새롭게 시작할 수 있도록 격려하고, 자신의 진정한 마음을 기억해주기를 바란다
결국, 과거의 기억을 소중히 여길 것을 당부하고 있다

Oh, sweet lady, runnin' like a stream
You don't look back because
you know your hands are clean
You make believe the past was just a dream
You make believe the past was just a dream

Turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long

Oh, Elisa, you must begin again
And all the roads that you have
walked are comin' to an end
I was your lover but I thought
I was your friend
I loved you but I thought
I was your friend

Turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long

Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea
Maybe you will find a little time
to think of me
Won't you please remember what
I tried so hard to be
Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be

So turn around, turn around
And I will sing for you a song
And I don't know where you been
But you've been gone too long
