about

A catchy tune that’s a nostalgic look back on the narrator’s life, recognizing a younger version of herself (“It was me staring back through the years. It was me…I know it, I know it was me”). The song then moves into a message of hope for a long & well-lived life (“Then I saw an older woman walking with her friend…recognized that laugh like a tune from my childhood…and knew I’d be alright, ‘cause it was me.”)

lyrics

It Was Me by Sharon Coates


I saw her standing outside my first apartment
she seemed so familiar but I could not place her
the color of her hair and the shape of her eyes
I think she might be me from another time

It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me

Then I saw her down by Lake Riley with her Shepherd pup
they played together splashing in the water’s edge
they were in their own world - like a family of two
then I saw myself and remembered that open heart

It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me

Then I saw an older woman walking with her friend
recognized that laugh like a tune from my childhood

and knew I’d be alright
knew I’d be ok
knew I’d be alright
and live another day

‘cause It was me
staring back through the years
It was me
I know it I know it was me
It was me it was me
looking back through the years
It was me from another time It was me
