Mem'ries,
Light 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 that 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? Could we?

Mem'ries, 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...

You will always be my friend
The mem'ries never end
You were always there for me
Anything I needed, I could count on you
A friend so true
Looking through the eyes of love

And I do believe that even in the darkness there is light
Knowing you're beside me, I'm all right

Close together through the years
And even through my tears I can see you smile now
I can hear your laughter
Somewhere from above
And there you are
Looking through the eyes of love

So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way you were
The way you were ...
