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.
