The way we were
Barbra Streisand
( Alan & Marilyn Bergman / Marvin Hamlisch )
First chart appearance: Dec 22,1973; Highest position: #1, 1974)

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Mem'ries, Light the corners of my mind
Misty water colored 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 rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Mem'ries, May be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

The way we were...


1973 Academy Award Winner for Best Song from the movie, "The Way We Were"
