Does anyone know this song?

[missnemesis]

Have posted this in music but thought I'd pop it in here as well just incase any of you CB'rs might be able to help :)

This is a really long shot but......My mum wants me to find a song she once heard but she doesn't know the title or who it was that sung it. Apparently it's about a mother who is reminising about when her children were little and has a line which goes something like " if I could turn back the years"

I have tried googling those lyrics and there are one or two songs which contain them but none of them match the description of the rest of the song's content :-/

Any help with this (I know it's not much to go by) would be really, really appreciated.

TIA missnemesis x

It doesn't fit with the lyric you remember, but this one always brings a lump to my throat..............the sentiment is similar.

Many thanks for everyone's help but so far they're close but no cigar as they say.

Jackthehat I wasn't ignoring your contribution I was off looking for the damned song grrr! The Abba one you listed is indeed a tear jerker though so thanks for that :)

these are the words to With Pen in Hand miss

WITH PEN IN HAND
Vikki Carr

With pen in hand you sign your name
Today I find I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and i will be alone
So alone
If you think we can't find
The love we once knew
If you think I can't make
Everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny
Can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play
All the games that little girls play
Here what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night
That she says her prayers
Well if you can do these things
Then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you lay
In that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
Or to hold me
And if you can forget
The good times that we had
If you don't think the good times
Outweigh the bad
Than go ahead and sign your name
And I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way
La da da da da da da da da

missnemesis - sorry for the misunderstanding.............I wasn't accusing you of ignoring me.
I was suggesting that you may as well ignore me (as you had added the 'Foster and Allen' note after I'd posted) as my contribution would obviously be incorrect.

I hope you find the solution......:o)
