Barbra Streisand-The Way We Were lyrics

Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,
misty watercolor mem'ries
of the way we were.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind,
smiles we give to one another
for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten ev'ry 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 forget.

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten ev'ry 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 forget.

So it's the laughter we will remember,
whenever we remember

the way we were,
the way we were,
the way we were.
