Looking Back Lyrics by Nat “King” Cole

The Classic Singles

0

[Verse 1]
Looking back 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 back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

[Bridge]
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned

[Verse 2]
Looking back 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
