The Way We Were Lyrics

Mem'ries
light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored 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
(maj7)
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 pain ful to re member
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were
The way we were
