Way We Were

(Marvin Hamlish - Alan Bergman - Marvin Bergman)



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 the line

If we had a chance to do it all again

Tell me would we, could we.



Memories can 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...
