The Way We Were
Mem’ries light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored 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.
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 Mem’ries may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember we simply choose to forget
