The Way We Were

memories light the corners of my mind
misty water color memories
of the way we were
scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
fore the way we were
can't 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 maybe 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
remember, the way we were
