Lyrics

When I Look Back

When I look back on my time
I'll see the smiles and not hear the cry's
Avoid the clouds to feel the sun
I'll see the best in everyone
When I look back

When I look back on our days
I'll think of love, Hear the vows we made
Your pretty Eyes, the way you glow
Our special times, the whole damn show
When I look back

Though our time is short, this road is long....
I just thank god, you all came along
When I look back

When I look back on what I'll leave
Our children's love, their children's dreams
The brightest stars are within their reach
With all I gave, it's me they teach
When I look back

Though our time is short, this road is long
I just thank god, you all came along
When I look back
When I look back
When I look back
