Memories like the corners of my mind

Misty water call of memories of the way we were

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 as diary written every line

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me would we could we



Memories may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

We never will remember the way we were



Memories may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

We never will remember the way we were

The way we were
