The Way We Were

Memories,

light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor 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 is the laughter

The laughter we will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

The way we were
