Memories
                        F#5  F#5   D5
Light the corners of my mind,
      C#5 C#5   F#5       F#5   D5
Misty water color memories,
       E5 E5   A5   F#5   B5   E5
Of the way    we were
          A5   C#5   D5
Scattered pic...tures
                        F#5   F#5   D5
Of the smiles we left behind,
          C#5   C#5  F#5     F#5   D5
Smiles we gave to one another,
        E5 E5   A5   A5   A5
For the way    we were
D5                         C#5   B5
Can't it be that it was all so     simple then,
C#5                        F#5   F#5
Or has time rewritten every line?
B5           B5           D5
If we had the chance to do it all again
E5      A5       F#5      E5
Tell me would we? Could we?
A5 C#5   D5
Memories
                      F#5  F#5   D5
May be beautiful, and yet,
           C#5   C#5  F#5      F#5   D5
What's too painful to remember,
          C#5    C#5   F#5    F#5   D5
We simply choose to   forget.
            C#5       D5
So it's the laughter,
          C#5    D5
We will remember,
              C#5  F#5   B5
Whenever we remem...ber
    D5    A5   D5   E5
The way we were
           A5   D5   A5
The way we were.
