Way We Were

Mem'ries,
Like 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?
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...

Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses morning me, evening me
And as the world sleeps far away, star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love, forever me with love
And every day i'll gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way i'll velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with shine
Suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine
'cause suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine

Everyone comes from
One father one mother
So why do we complicate
Our lives so much
By being at war with each other
Mmm...maybe i'm crazy
But i don't understand it
Why do we seem to vote
To dig more holes
It's such a waste of a planet
There must be a reason
That i can't see
Maybe somebody else now
Knows better than me
All i know is
Everyone else is
A sister or a brother
So we've got to look around
Again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
Oh. . .
Maybe i'm crazy
But i don't
No, i don't understand it
(there must be a reason)
There must be a reason
(there must be a reason)
There must be a reason
That i can't see
Somebody else must be
Better than me
Aii i know is
Everyone else is
A sister or brothers
So we've got to look around
Again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other...

Little boy lost
In search
Of little boy found
You go on wondering, wandering
Stumbling, tumbling
'round. . . 'round. . .
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind
Mmm...why are you blind
To all you ever were
Never were
Really are
Nearly are
Little boy false
In search
Of little boy true
Will you be ever done
Traveling
Always unraveling
You, . . you. . .
Running away
Could leave you farther astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time come blow your horn
Meet them on
Look and see
Can you be far from home...

Aren't you glad its finally over
Don't you feel a whole lot better
Isn't it a joy to lie alone at night
Aren't people more exciting
Doesn't music have more meaning
Don't you close your eyes
The moment you close the light
To be rid of all the feeling
How it cluttered up the morning
To be free of all the memories
Every one
Take a bow then take another
Isn't loneliness a winner
Wasn't leaving me
The best thing you've ever done

To be rid of all the feeling
How it cluttered up the morning
To be free of all the memories
Every one
Take a bow then take another
Isn't loneliness a winner
Wasn't leaving me
The best thing you've ever done

something so right

They've got a wall in china,
It's a thousand miles long.
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong.

And i've got a wall around me that you can't see
It took a little time to get next to me.
When something goes wrong i'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right, it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me, such an unusual sight
Oh, i swear i swear i can't get used to something so right
Something so right.

Some people never say the words i love you
(it's not their style to be so bold)
Some people never say the words i love you
But like a child their longing to be told.
Hmmm. . . when something goes wrong i'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me such an unusual sight oh i swear
I swear i can't get used to something so right, something so right.
