_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Memories, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
light the corners of my [Gm] _ _ mind.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[D] Misty watercolor _ _ [Gm] _ _
memories, _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ of the way [Bb] we were. _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Scattered pictures, _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
of the smiles we [Gm] left _ _ [Bb] behind.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[G] Smiles [D] we gave to [A] one _ _ [Gm] another, _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
for the way [Bb] we were.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ Can it be that it was all [Cm] so simple [F] then?
_ _ _ [Dm] _ Or has [A] time rewritten [F] every _ line?
[G] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ If we had [B] the chance to [Cm] do it all again, _
_ [F] _ [Bb] tell me would we? _
_ _ [F] [Cm] Could _ _ [Eb] we?
_ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ Memories, _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
may be [Gm] beautiful and yet, [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[D] what's too painful to [A] _ _
[Gm] remember?
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ We [D] simply choose [Gm] to _ _
[Bb] forget.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Cm] And so _ _ [Dm] is _ laughter.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
We [Cm] _ _ _ [Dm] will remember, _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ whenever we [Dm] _ remember, _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
the way we [Bb] were. _ _ _

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ were.
