THE WAY WE WERE - (From “The Way We Were”) – BarbraStreisand - Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Marvin Hamlisch - Memories 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 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 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?

[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

"The Way We Were" is a song recorded by American vocalist Barbra Streisand for her fifteenth studio album, The Way We Were (1974). It was physically released as the record's lead single on September 27, 1973 through Columbia Records. The 7" single was distributed in two different formats, with the standard edition featuring B-side track "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" and the Mexico release including an instrumental B-side instead. The recording was written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman and Marvin Hamlisch, while production was solely handled by Marty Paich. "The Way We Were" was specifically produced for the record, in addition to three other tracks, including her then-upcoming single "All in Love Is Fair" (1974).

Its lyrics detail the melancholic relationship between the two main characters in the 1973 film of the same name. Its appeal was noted by several music critics, who felt its impact helped revive Streisand's career. It also won two Academy Awards, which were credited to the songwriters of the track. The single was also a commercial success, topping the charts in both Canada and the United States, while peaking in the top 40 in Australia and the United Kingdom. Additionally, "The Way We Were" was 1974's most successful recording in the United States, where it was placed at number one on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles list. It has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA for sales of over one million units. Streisand has also included "The Way We Were" on various compilation albums, with it most recently appearing on 2010's Barbra: The Ultimate Collection.

Several renditions and versions of the single exist, including one by American singer Andy Williams, who sang it for his thirty-second studio album of the same name in 1974. American band Gladys Knight & the Pips also recorded a cover for I Feel a Song (1974). It was commercially successful, reaching number four in the United Kingdom and number 11 in the United States. Their version was blended with the song "Try to Remember" and features the B-side track "The Need to Be".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_We_Were_(song)
