Brian May and Kerry Ellis - The Way We Were lyrics

Kerry: This next song is a favourite of mine really, sung usually by Barbara Streisand, and usually sung in a huge way with a big orchestra, and I sang it for probably the first time properly for Radio 2, several months ago, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and it was, it was lovely, and Brian liked it, and said 'why don't we try it, and why don't we strip it back and make it simple', so this is 'The Way We Were' Memories Like the corners of my mind Misty water coloured 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 re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again Tell me, 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 Ooooh The way we were Kerry: Thank you
