Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Willie Hutch]
Do you remember
The way we were
Do you remember, baby
Girl, the way that we were
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

[Verse 2: Willie Hutch]
Memories light the corners of my mind, yeah
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

[Verse 3: Willie Hutch]
Now could it be that things were all so simple then
Or tell me has time old man time erased every line, oh baby girl
If we had the chance
If we had the chance to start all over again
Oh darling, would we?
I want to know, could we?

[Verse 4: Willie Hutch]
These memories light the corners of my mind, yeah
Misty water-colored memories, baby, of the way we were
Oh do you remember baby, ha-ha
We use to walk through the parks holding hands, yeah
We were so proud of each other
Love slipped away and I don't know how
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Oh da da da da da da da da

[Verse 5: Willie Hutch]
This is for the way we were baby
This is for the way we were baby
We will never never never never never never
Be that way again
Oh I we can't be lovers can't be friends
Oh I'll see you soon
Oh da da da da da yeah
You take good care of yourself
I've got to be rolling on
Rolling on
I've been rolling on
