The Way We Were/try To Remember Lyrics By Gladys Knight And The Pips

    hey you know everybody’s talkin’ about the good old days right
    everybody the good old days the good old days
    well let’s talk about the good old days
    come to think of it as as bad as we think they are
    these will become the good old days for our children hum
    why don’t we ah

    try to remember that kind of september when
    when life was slow and oh so mellow hum
    try to remember and if you remember then follow

    oh why does it seem the past is always better
    we look back and think
    the winters were warmer
    the grass was greener
    the skies were bluer
    and smiles were bright

    can it be that it was all so simple then
    or has time rewritten every line
    and if we had the chance to do it all again
    tell me
    would we
    could we

    memories like the corners of my mind
    misty watercolor 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

    hahaa

    oh can it be that it was all so simple then
    or has time rewritten every line
    and if we had the chance to do it all again
    tell me haha
    would we
    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
    remember the way we were
