the way we were / memories

wish that i could wind

like a spiral stair through time

with your body next to mine

warm and satisfying

wish that i could catch

a night train to the past

climb aboard and hear you ask

darlin'

come inside

ooh yeah

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

light the corners of my mind

misty water colored memories

for the way we were

scattered pictures

of the smiles we left behind

smiles we gave to one another

for the way we were

yeah yeah

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

i swear to god

we simply choose to forget

so it's the laughter

we will remember

whenever we remember

the way

the way we were

wish that i could wind

like a spiral stair through time

with your body next to mine

warm and satisfying

memories

doo doo doo doo doo doo. ooh.
