The Way We Were

The Way We Were

Written: Hamlisch Marvin/Bergman Marilyn/Bergman Alan

 

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's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were
