    Chorus:
    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?

    My mom heard this song when she was dying from cancer and it must of hit a nerve because for the first time ever a tear started to roll down her eye when she thought I wasn't looking. My mom passed away in 2021 and since then life hasn't been the same without her. If she only knew what a big hole she left in my heart and how much I missed her and how this song and that tear has become a reflection of the way things were.

      Do not worry.... your mother is just fine where she is.... you may be unaware of her but she's very much alive.... the emotions you feel are all part of being human, loss is part of living.
      Smile, and remember because she was here.....

    My mother died of breast cancer in 1971. The years roll by but there's never a day I don't think of her. She was an amazing woman and I have always hoped to be half as wonderful as she. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 - two months after my husband died. Thankfully we caught it early. So far so good. Thank God for the wonders of modern medicine. This song means so much to me as well. Thank you Barbra .. you are incredible!!!

      I’m so sorry to hear of you loss, and even your husband’s passing I can’t imagine the grief I pray you will be strengthened and comforted in each day; cancer is a terrible disease, older sister was diagnosed just last week and I’m praying she will get through and I can be there just like with our mom; God bless and comfort all who are grieving and miss their mothers

    Written during the 70s, when songwriters were not afraid to "go deep" and left us a legacy of the most powerful music ever written. Barbra Streisand's irreplaceable voice sends it into the stratosphere. There is no voice like hers! Only she could have imbued this beautiful song with such melancholy and depth.

      I also lost a daughter, only God brought me through, she was only 29. Then I lost my dad and brother six months apart 10 months after my mom. And my sister and best friend some years before that in a car accident, all way too young to die except my mom and dad. It’s so hard. Only God can get you through for me, and give you a way to grieve different than people without him, we grieve with hope. I pray you know him and have found him, or Surely will❤😢

    Kinda needed to do this. My ex wife, Dottie, died 6 months ago at age 79. We met at age 23 and Barbara Streisand was her favorite artist. Her music was on the juke boxes at the time and she played it constantly. Just need to say I'm sure she is in heaven looking down on our two sons Brian and Kevin. Good rest you Sweety it was a long run. XO❤

    Memories
    Light the corners of my mind
    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
    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 to choose to forget
    So it's the laughter
    We will remember
    Whenever we remember
    The way we were
    The way we were

      I feel the same way Ardi 1968! the 70's were magical. Evenings at home with whole family, especially the colder months, playing games, card games, making popcorn. My parents have long passed away, my four older siblings each live in a different state, each with grandkids now. We're lucky if we see each other once a year. Be nice to turn back time, at least for a little while, I adored my parents.

    When I was young, it was just a pretty song to me. Now when I hear this song, it's not just a pretty song, but a song that has so much depth and feeling. Some of the sweetest memories can be the ones that are the most painful to remember. As we lose loved ones as we grow older, how we wish we could go back in time. Sometimes tears are like prayers when it's hard to speak. Tears are like showers for the soul. Those are the most genuine prayers of all. But the greater the pain, the greater was the love we felt for them. A heart that loves deeply is a heart that loves completely. Never take any loved ones for granted. This song could not be more perfect and comforting.

He used to smile at me in the school hallways whenever he saw me. We laughed at each other’s jokes and supported one another. Even though we don’t talk anymore, I still remember those memories of the way we were 💕

    [Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    Hmm hmm
    Memories
    Light the corners of my mind
    Misty water-colored memories
    Of the way we were
    [Verse 2]
    Scattered pictures
    Of the smiles we left behind
    Smiles we gave to one another
    For the way we were
    [Bridge]
    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?
    [Verse 3]
    Memories
    May be beautiful and yet
    What's too painful to remember
    We simply choose to forget
    [Outro]
    So it's the laughter
    We will remember
    Whenever we remember
    The way we were
    The way we were
    Hmmmmm hmmmmm
