Carmen McRae – Looking Back Lyrics

Jazz

As I'm reflectin' back on my life
It's like a dream
Things are not quite what they seem
There's always something missing
Something unseen, but dimly remembered

I think of paths I might have taken
Lives that I've changed
Some living souls rearranged
And I'm amazed how tender feelings can be

In looking back, we just peep through the crack
Between what's real and false
In this eternal waltz
Meanwhile, we all keep dancin'

Now, at the end of my reflections
I have to say I would live life the same way
But that's the way that life goes
Thank God I'm one girl who knows, knows

In lookin' back, we just peep through the crack
Between what's real and false
In this eternal waltz
Meanwhile, we all keep dancin'

Now, at the end of my reflections
I have to say I would live life the same way
But that's the way that life goes
Thank God, I'm one girl who knows
