Memories light the
corner of my mind
Misty water
coloured 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
Could 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 could we
would we
Memories can
be beautiful
and yet
What's too
painful to
remember
We simply choose
to forget
So it's laughter
we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Or could it be that it
was oh so simple then
Or has time
rewritten every line
And if we had the
chance to do it all again
Tell me could we
would we
Oh memories can
be beautiful and yet
What's too painful
to remember
We simply
choose to forget
So it's laughter
we will remember
Whenever we
remember
the way we were
Woah the way we were
The way we were
