"If I Could Go Back" lyrics - BURT BACHARACH

How do I know this is part of my real life?
If there's no pain can I be sure I feel life?
And would I go back if I knew how to go back?

What good is time when you're sure of tomorrow?
Can there be joy where there has been no sorrow?
And would I go back if I knew how to go back?

Will I find there is really such a thing as peace of mind?
And what I thought was living was truly just confusion

The chance to live forever is really no illusion
And this all can be mine
Why can't I make myself believe it?

And would I go back if I knew how to go back?

Will I find there is really such a thing as peace of mind?
And what I thought was living was truly just confusion

The chance to live forever is really no illusion
And this all can be mine
Why can't I make myself believe it?

And would I go back if I knew how to go back?
