The song I Looked Back is performed by Perry Como .
You looked back to see if I looked back,
And I looked back to see if you looked back
To see if I looked back to see
If you were lookin' at me!
I looked back to see if you looked back,
When you looked back I felt my heart strings snap,
And heard a thunder clap
And saw the lightning striking at me!
Then I stood still, an' you stood still,
The world stood still, my heart stood still,
And O' the thrill that suddenly we knew,
The very, very moment . . .
I looked back to see if you looked back,
And you looked back to see if I looked back
To see if you looked back to see
If I was lookin' at you!
< instrumental verse >
Then I stood still, an' you stood still,
The world stood still, my heart stood still,
And O' the thrill that suddenly we knew,
The very, very moment . . .
I looked back to see if you looked back,
And you looked back to see if I looked back
To see if you looked back to see
If I was lookin' at you!
( . . . to see if you were lookin' at me! )
To see if I was lookin' at you, lookin' at me,
Lookin' at you . . . lookin' at me!
