the way we were

Light the corners of our minds
misty water colored memories
of the way we were

Scattered pictures
of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
from 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
can be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget

For it's the laughter
we will remember
whenever we remember
the way we were......
The way we were.
