Lyrics

  1. Memories
    Light the corners of my mind
    Misty watercolor memories
    Of the way we were
  2. 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 re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

  1. 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
