THE WAY WE WERE



Spoken:

Well you ladies out there

you know what I'm

I'm talkin' 'bout ya

but you wanna know something?

did you ever try to remember or

or just place up a memory in your mind

and it always seems so far away

so hard to find



Memories

light 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

(oh yesterday) 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



Spoken:

Tell me, how many of you would live your lives again

I would too

you girls?



Memories

may be beautiful and yet

what's too painful to remember

we simply choose to forget

and so it's the laughter

we will remember

whenever we remember



The way we were

the way we were

whoaaahhhh
