Looking Back

-artist: nat king cole

-peak billboard position # 5 in 1958

-words and music by clyde otis, brook benton, and belford hendricks

-also charted by joe simon in 1969 at #70





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
