the way we were

Jackie Evancho

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
