Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,
EmE7Am Am+7 FM7
Misty water-colored mem'ries
E7E7CM7AmDmG7
of the way we were.
CM7EmFM7AmAmFM7
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind,
EmE7Am Am+7 FM7E7E7CM7C7
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
EmEmA7A7
Or has time rewritten every line?
Dm Dm+7 Dm
If we had the chance to do it all again,
EmCM7FG7
Tell me, would we, could we?
CM7EmFM7AmAmFM7
Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet
EmE7Am Am+7 FM7
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
E7E7AmAm7FM7
We simply choose to forget.
EmFM7EmFM7
So it's the laughter we will remember
EmAmDm
Whenever we re-mem-ber
Dm7CM7FM7F
The way we were,
FmCFM7CM7
The way we were.
