The Way We Were - Live in Concert Lyrics

[spoken]
Alright!
Now let's go back to 1973
You're way ahead of me!

[sung]
Memories 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 rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?

[spoken]
Yeah

[sung]
But could we?

[spoken]
Okay

[sung]
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
The laughter we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

That's nice
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I know you love that song!
So do I

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
