The Way We Were

by Barbara Streisand



Memories,
like the corners of my mind
Misty water-color 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 so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had chance to do it all again
Tell me would we, oh could we ?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
The laughter we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were.
The way we were.
