Lyrics

[Al Bundy]

Mem'ries,
Of the world I left behind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

[Peggy Bundy]

Shattered pictures,
Of the smiles I left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

[Jefferson D'arcy]

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?

[Marcy D'arcy]

If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

[Together]

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...
