Mem'ries light the corners of my mind,
Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7
Misty water-colored mem'ries
E7sus4 E7 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G7
of the way we were.
CM7 Em7 FM7 Am9 Am FM7
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind,
Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7 E7sus4 E7 CM7 C7
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Em Em7 A7sus4 A7
Or has time rewritten every line?
Dm Dm+7 Dm7
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Em7 CM7 F G7
Tell me, would we, could we?
CM7 Em7 FM7 Am9 Am FM7
Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet
Em7 E7 Am Am+7 FM7
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,
E7sus4 E7 Am7 Am7/G FM7
We simply choose to forget.
Em7 FM7 Em7 FM7
So it's the laughter we will remember
Em7 Am7 Dm7
Whenever we re-mem-ber
Dm7/G CM7 FM7 F
The way we were,
Fm C FM7 CM7
The way we were.
