The Way We Were

Memories

Light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor memπries

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

Whatπs too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So itπs the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

Every day was like

A gift of flowers

Ribbon-wrapped

And waiting to be seen

Eagerly we opened all the hours

Then what happened happened

Memories

May be beautiful and yet

Whatπs too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So itπs the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

The way we were
