Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 1]
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor 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
[Bridge]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm
