Lyrics for I Was There

Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten But each one is a memory, I look back on so often I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there Looking back what I have done, there's lots more life to live At times, I feel overwhelmed, I question what I can give But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow There's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there Looking back upon my life (on my life) Faded memories upon the wall (on the wall) Looking now at who I am (who am I?) I don't let it get me down (I don't let it, get me down) Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow There's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there
