The Way We Were

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 is the laughter
The laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
