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 re-written 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
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

See I will not replace
Or erase all our memories
Lessons given to us
We learned 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
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
