Mem'ries light the corners of my mind br misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were br Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind br smiles we gave to one another for the way we were. br Can it be that it was all so simple then br or has time rewritten every line br if we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we br Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet br what's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget br so it's the laughter we will remember br whenever we remember the way we were. br The way we were.
