The Way We Were Lyrics

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, light the corners of my mind
Misty waters 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

Ohhh 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

Alaala, ng tayo'y mag-sweetheart pa
Namamasyal pa sa Luneta
Nang walang pera
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Remember, the way we were
Doo do do do do dooo
