The Way We Were

The Way We Were
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-coloured memories of the way we were, yeah
Scattered pictures, all the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another, oh yes we did, for the way we were

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Could it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if you had the chance to live your lives again
Tell me how many of you would live your lives again
I would too
You girls
Memories may be beautiful and yet, and yet
What's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget
And so it's the laughter we choose so to remember
Whenever we remember, oh you know we do, the way we were
The way we were
