Hey you know everybody's talkin' about the good old days 
Everybody the good old days 
The good old days 
Well, let's talk about the good old days 
Come to think about it 
As bad as we think they are 
These will become the good old days of our children 
Why don't we try to remember 
The kind of September 
When life was slow and oh so mellow 
Try to remember 
And if you remember 
Then follow 
Why does it always seem the past is better 
We look back and think 
The winters were warmer 
The grass was greener 
The skies were bluer 
The smiles were brighter 
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 
Memories 
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 

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 
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'll remember 
We'll remember 
Whenever we remember 
The Way We Were
