The Way We Were

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 rewritten 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.
