GREEN DAY LYRICS - I Was There

"I Was There"



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 look into the past

I want to make it last

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 look into the past

I want to make it last

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 look into the past

I want to make it last

I was there
