The Way We Were Lyrics - Perry Como

Memories light the corners of my mind 

Misty water-colored 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
