The Way We Were

Barbara Streisand

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind


Misty water-colored mem'ries 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





Mem'ries 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.
