memories

like 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 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, or could we

memories may be beautiful and yet

what s too painful to remember

we simply choose to forget

so it s the laughter oh we will remember

whenever we remember

the way we were, the way we were

see i would not replace

or erase all our memories

lessons given to us we learned so unselfishly

so take this moment

take an extra breath with respect

for our time

can t rewind

what s just meant to be

but now we gotta move on

we gotta stay strong

celebrating us all night long

no regrets, don t forget

that our time together

was truly beautiful

these memories will live forever

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
