12 Looking back again to you 1968
The second song in my songbook and amazingly one with a singalong chorus in traditional folk style… Quite a simple song so I scored a fiddle part to perk it up a bit.
Walking down the road with all my dreams
Thinking of all the things that I have seen
And about the way things might have been
Looking back again to you
Strolling down the road along my way
Contemplating still on yesterday
And on all the things I hoped you’d say
Looking back again to you
But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you
Yu said you loved me and like a fool
I believed you so I played it cool
Then you left me and broke all my rules
Still I’m thinking back to you
You had deceived me and for a time
I couldn’t see any reason or rhyme
The way you treated me was such a crime
Still I’m thinking back to you
But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you
Now I realize that you were not to blame
You were just playing a different game
I guess there’s many more that play the same
Maybe in time I’ll forget you
So I’ll go off and I’ll shop around
Find another girl another town
Make sure that this one doesn’t drag me down
And then in time I’ll forget you
But it’s all over now I realize
Should have guessed when I looked in your eyes
But it’s easy now to be wise when I’m
Looking back again to you
