I Was There Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
