Lyrics
MemoriesLight the corners of my mindMisty watercolor memoriesOf the way we were
Scattered picturesOf the smiles we left behindSmiles we gave to one anotherFor 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 againTell me, would we?Could we?
MemoriesMay be beautiful and yetWhat's too painful to rememberWe simply to choose to forget
So it's the laughterWe will rememberWhenever we rememberThe way we wereThe way we were

    A few years ago I made a slide show of pics of our family, and used this as a sound track. It is now hard to watch, but it is beautiful. It hurts, but it shows the good times we had. Yes, I'd do it all again.

    Ed,

    One of my favorite songs and probably my favorite film.  I’ve watched the movie at least 10 times and every time, I sit through the ending credits, waiting for Robert Redford to turn around and return to Barbara Streisand on the corner……..hasn’t happened yet.

    Thanks for sharing Ed, I love that song and like Beachfan I can’t count the times I have watched that movie. I have a hard time listening to the song now. 

    Hoot, I hope you and your wife have a very blessed anniversary!
