This is a song from the '1000 hours' LP. It can be bought on Ebay or other shops. The
song can be downloaded from www.lookoutrecords.com, If it dont work , goto a search
engine and type in 'lookout records'.I noticed the other version doesnt have the intro
etc so im tabbing my own. Enjoy

no lyrics...here they are- 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
