The Way We Were
Barbra Streisand
C Em F Am F
Mem'ries light the corners of my mind
Em E7 Am F
Misty water-colored mem'ries
E7 C Am Dm7 G7
of the way we were
C Em F Am F
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Em E7 Am F E7 C C7
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
F Em Dm7
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Em Em7 A7
Or has time rewritten every line
Dm Dm7 Em
If we had the chance to do it all again
Cmaj7 F G7
Tell me would we could we
C Em F Am F
Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet
Em E7 Am F
What's too painful to re-mem-ber
E7 Am F
We simply choose to forget
Em F Em F
So it's the laugh ter we will remember
Em Am Dm7
Whenever we re-mem-ber
C F
The way we were
Fm C F Cmaj7
The way we were
