The Way We Were (with Lionel Richie)

Ooh, mmm

Memories

Like 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

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Has time rewritten every line?

And if we had the chance to do it all again

Just tell me

Tell me, would we? Would we?

Oh, could we? Could we?

Memories, memories

May be beautiful and yet

So many memories too painful to remember

The way we were

(The way, the way, the way we were)

Oh

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

(Has time) Has time rewritten every line?

Oh, has time rewritten every line?

And if we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me, would we? Would we?

Oh, could we? Could we?

Memories, memories

May be beautiful and yet

May be beautiful and yet

Much too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So, it's the laughter

That we will remember, we will remember

And though

Whenever we

Yeah, remember

The way, the way we were

(The way, the way, the way we were)

The way we were

I miss you, baby

(The way, the way, the way we were)

The way we were

The way we were

Oh, I miss you so much, baby

I miss the way we were

The way we were
