Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,
Em7E7Am Am+7 FM7
Misty water-colored mem'ries
E7sus4E7CM7Am7Dm7G7
of the way we were.
CM7Em7FM7Am9AmFM7
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind,
Em7E7Am Am+7 FM7E7sus4E7CM7C7
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
EmEm7A7sus4A7
Or has time rewritten every line?
Dm Dm+7 Dm7
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Em7CM7FG7
Tell me, would we, could we?
CM7Em7FM7Am9AmFM7
Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet
Em7E7Am Am+7 FM7
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
E7sus4E7Am7Am7/GFM7
We simply choose to forget.
Em7FM7Em7FM7
So it's the laughter we will remember
Em7Am7Dm7
Whenever we re-mem-ber
Dm7/GCM7FM7F
The way we were,
FmCFM7CM7
The way we were.
