The Way We Were / Try to Remember - Gladys Knight & 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

1.

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

2.

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
