If I Could Go Back
sung by Jerry Whitman (Peter Finch)

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?

Can I accept what I see around me?

Have I found Shangri-la, or has it found me?

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?
