Marvin Hamlisch
The Way We Were (Soundtrack Version)
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 gave 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, the way we were
