Looking Back

(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks)



Lookin' back over my life

I can see where, where I caused you strife

But I know, oh yes, I know,

I'd never make that same mistake again.



Lookin' back over my deeds

I can see signs that a wise man needs

Oh, if I had just one more chance

I'd know I'd never make that same mistake again.



Once my cup was overflowin'

But I, I gave nothin' in return

But I can't, I can't begin to tell you

What a lesson, what a lesson I have learned.



Lookin' back over the slate

I can see love as it turns to hate

But I know, oh yes, I know,

I know I'd never make that same mistake again...
