Looking Back

(album: Marty After Midnight - 1962)

Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
And I know, yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs wise men heed
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

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
Well, looking back over the slate
I can see love turning to hate
And I know, yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

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
Well, looking back over the slate
I can see love turning to hate
And I know, yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
