Lyrics Looking Back - Don Williams

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 of wise man heeds
And if I just have a chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing
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 love turn to hate
But I know, oh, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

But I know, oh, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
