Ray Conniff – The Way We Were lyrics
Mem'ries
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored mem'ries
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

Mem'ries
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

The way we were
