[Intro]
Hmmmmm hmmmmm
Hmm hmm hmmmmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm
[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
Hmm hmm hmmmmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmm
