Looking Back Lyrics

Artist: Nat King Cole
Album: Looking Back

Looking ba-a-ack over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just ha-ad the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Now I can't begin to te-ell you
What a lesson I have learned

Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

This is a very good song that came to my thoughts when I began to look at how my new life was treaating compare to the old one and all the mistakes I made.

My Husband of 40 years was dying. This is basically what he said just days before he passed.

He said it in his own words not knowing Nat King Cole had sang it first.
