Текст песни The Way We Were (Live) - Brian May , Kerry Ellis

Kerry: This next song is a favourite of mine really, sung usually by Barbara Streisand, and usually sung in a huge way with a big orchestra, and I sang it for probably the first time properly for Radio 2, several months ago, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and it was, it was lovely, and Brian liked it, and said 'why don't we try it, and why don't we strip it back and make it simple', so this is 'The Way We Were'
Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water coloured 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 choose to forget
So, it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
Ooooh
The way we were
Kerry: Thank you
