C Looking back upon my life and A# The places that I've been C Pictures, faces, girls I've loved, A# 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: F C I look into the past F C And I want to make it last A# C 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 Chorus D C D C 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?)
