Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were

         

Memories
light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories 
of the way we were

Scattered pictures 
of the smiles we left behind
smiles we give to one another
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
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
whenever we remember
the way we were
