Two of my favorite songs are The Way We Were.You see, there's the one way we were that you all know from the movie The Way We Were.But there were two way we weres because Marilyn Allen, being very creative and very prolific writers,finished the song eight weeks before we needed it.And they said, well, gee, we never have the opportunity to write a second lyric to the same song.So they wrote another lyric to it, to another melody, by the way, by Marvin Hamlisch.I thought it would be interesting to sing it tonight because it wound up on the cutting room floorand tonight we figured we'd pick it up and sing the other The Way We Were,which we don't call The Way We Were Two, but to distinguish it from The Way We Were One,we call it The Way We Weren't. That's what we call it.When I wander through my mindIn corners I can find the way we wereIn the places memories sleepI keep the day we wereThe way we wereWe were wistful, we were youngAll the smiles of love were waiting in our eyesAnd we were neither innocent nor wiseAs we are nowNow we hope to make the memories lastBut time's been known to change the pastOnly in some yesterdayWe'll safely stay the way we wereIsn't that pretty?Can it be that it was all so simple thenOr has time rewritten every lineIf we had the chance to do it all againTell me, would we?Could we?Memories may be beautiful and yetWhat's too painful to rememberWe simply choose to forgetSo it's the laughter we will rememberWhenever we rememberThe way we wereThe way we wereThe way we were
