Barbara Streisand 1974 (Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman and Marvin Hamlisch) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories_(Barbra_Streisand_album)
C    Em             F             Am    F
Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind,

      Em            E7  Am   F
Misty water-colored mem'ries

       E7     C     Am  Dm7  G7
of the way we were.

C         Em               F                Am    F
Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind,

          Em          E7  Am           F      E7  C C7
Smiles we gave to one another, for the way we were.

F                     Em     Dm7
Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Em            Em7           A7      
Or has time rewritten every line?

Dm            Dm7       Em
If we had the chance to do it all again, 

         Cmaj7     F        G7
Tell me, would we, could we?

C    Em          F             Am  F
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet

           Em            E7  Am   F
What's too painful to re-mem-ber,

          E7           Am   F
We simply choose to forget.

            Em    F              Em F
So it's the laugh ter, we will remember

               Em  Am  Dm7
Whenever we re-mem-ber

           C    F
The way we were,

    Fm     C    F Cmaj7
The way we were.
