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.
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 love turned to hate.
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again.
