Lyrics:
Memories, like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor 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 (for the way we were, oo-ooh)
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? (would we?)
Could we? (could we?)
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget (simply choose to forget)
So it's the laughter (la-ra-ra)
May we´ll remember (la-ra-la-ra)
Whenever we remember (la-ra-la-ra)
The way we were (just the way we were)
The way we were (that´s the way we were)
The way we were (just the way we were).
