Lyrics
Looking back upon my life And the places that I've been Pictures, faces, girls 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 And I want to make it last I was there, I was there I look into the past And 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 And I want to make it last I was there, I was there I look into the past And I want to make it last I was there, I was there Looking back upon my life (on my life) Faded memories on 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 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 And I want to make it last I was there, I was there I look into the past And I want to make it last I was there, I was there
