Mem'ries light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor mem'ries
Of the way we were.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.

Could it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten ev'ry line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me would we, could we?

Mem'ries may be beautiful, and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simple choose to forget
So it's the laughter, we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were.

The way we were.

Oo ooo.
