Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were 1975

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind <br />misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were <br />Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind <br />smiles we gave to one another for the way we were. <br />Can it be that it was all so simple then <br />or has time rewritten every line <br />if we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we <br />Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet <br />what's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget <br />so it's the laughter we will remember <br />whenever we remember the way we were. <br />The way we were. <br />(hums first line and a variation on the second line) <br /><br />Barbara Streisand
