When I look back to years long gone
I see it all so clearly,
the things I could not see back then
the things that cost me dearly.
I see the errors of my ways
the paths I should have taken,
I see the signs I missed back then
and regret my lack of vision.
As I look forward at days to come
with eyes so dim and weary,
I see the things that lie ahead
and know they too will cost me dearly.
But as I look at where I am right now
and not look back or forward,
I seem contented with my lot
and there´s nothing need be altered.
