Intro: C5  G5  C5  F5

Well you ladies out there
you know what I'm
I'm talkin' 'bout ya
but you wanna know something?
did you ever try to remember or
or just place up a memory in your mind
and it always seems so far away
so hard to find

Ab5      C#5
Memories light the corners of my mind
      C5          F5     Eb5 C#5
misty water-color memories
       Eb5    Ab5  C#5
of the way we were
            Ab5   C#5
Scattered pictures
                 F5    F5 C#5
of the smiles we left behind
          C5          F5     Eb5
smiles we gave to one another
C#5                   Eb5    Ab5 Ab5

Memories may be beautiful

What?s too painful to remember
           C5        F5  Eb5 C#5
We simply choose to forget
                  C5
Although it's so  nice so

We choose so to remember

The way we were

the way we were
