The Way We Were lyrics

Memories Like the corners of my mind Misty water-colored 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, the way we were I would not replace Or erase all our memories Lessons given to us we learned on unselfishly So take this moment Take an extra breath With respect For our time Can't rewind What's just meant to be But now we gotta move on We gotta stay strong Celebrating us all night long No regrets, don't forget That our time together Was truly beautiful These memories will live forever 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
