I Was There

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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

Faded memories on the wall

Looking now at who I am

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

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
