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

for 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

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

the way we were
