Lyrics Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey

The Way We Were

Mem'ries

Like the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored 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

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
