Lyrics

Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
I try to remember when			(Verse 1)
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		(Chorus)
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		(Verse 2)
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

(Chorus)
(Solo)

Looking back upon my life
On my life
Faded memories on the wall
On the wall				(Bridge)
Looking now at who I am
Who am I?
I don't let it get me down
Why don't I 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			(Verse 3)
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

(Chorus)
