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 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
Every day was like a gift of flowers
Ribbon wrapped and waiting to be seen
Eagerly we opened all the hours
Then what happened, happened
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
