The Way We Were

在大學期間彼此吸引、結合，但最終還是不得不分離的一段戀情。

歌曲本身也在1974年的排行榜寶座上連續了三個星期，
被選為1974年最暢銷歌曲，
也為芭芭拉．史翠珊奪得第二張金唱片。

The Way We Were

Memries light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memries 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

Memries may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So its the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were

The way we were
