The Way We Were

The Way We Were
Wish that I could find like a sparrow step in time
With your body next to mine, warm and satisfied, yeah
Wish that I could catch a night train to the past
Climb aboard and have you ask, darling come inside, ooh yeah

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we, could we
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-coloured memories for the way we were, ooh
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were, yeah, yeah
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And 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
I swear to god, we simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way, the way we were
Ooh, yeah, yeah, ooh wee
Wish that I could find like a sparrow step in time
With your body next to mine, warm and satisfied, yeah
Memories, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
