Memories, 

Light the corners of my mind 

Misty water-colored memories 

Of the way we were 

Scattered pictures, 

Of the smiles we left behind 

Smiles we gave to one another 

For the way we were 

Can it be that it was all so simple then? 

Or has time re-written every line? 

If we had the chance to do it all again 

Tell me, would we? Could we? 

Memories, may be beautiful and yet 

What’s too painful to remember 

We simply choose to forget 

So it's the laughter 

We will remember 

Whenever we remember... 

The way we were... 

The Way We Were
