The Way We Were - Lesley Garrett

Memories light the corners 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 
Can 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 would we, could we? 

Memories may be beautiful and yet 
much too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget 
So it's the laughter, we will remember 
Whenever we remember the way we were. 
Ah -
we simply choose to forget 
So it's the laughter we will remember 
Whenever we remember the way we were 
the way we were
