Lyrics for Looking Back

Today with age, my body is bent And against my will, I must relent But in my heart, where love still beats I'm always thinking of you Now I'm a prisoner in this jail Confined to younger faces My memories, I'm not with them But off in distant places Looking back, that's all I do Looking back, that's all I do Looking back, that's all I'll ever do The things we had, the love we shared Perhaps like any other But even now, how sweet it is To think of things recovered I wonder if you think of me Watching evening summers Perhaps somewhere beyond the dark Love can be recovered Looking back, that's all I do Looking back, that's all I do Looking back, that's all I'll ever do
