The Way We Were

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor mem'ries

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 rewritten every line?

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me, would we? Could we?

Mem'ries 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

Every day was like a gift of flowers

Ribbon wrapped and waiting to be seen

Eagerly we opened all the hours

Then what happened, happened

Mem'ries 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
