Looking Back

(album: With Body & Soul - 1967)

Looking back over my life
Well, I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never
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

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

Looking back over the slate
I can see how love has turned to hate
But I know, oh 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

Looking back over the slate
I can see our love, well, it's just hate
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
