The Way We Were

(album: The Mighty Mighty Dells - 1974)

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? (Would we?)
Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet (Hmm)
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

And so it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
For the way we were

Oh
Forever, ever and ever
We'll always remember
The way we were
Forever, ever and ever
Always remember
The way we were
