Memories light the corners of my mind
回憶,照亮了我內心的角落
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
那些朦朧如水彩一般、我倆過去的回憶
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
散落的照片裡,有我們遺落的笑容
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
為我倆的過去所給予彼此的笑容
Can it be that it was all so simple then
還能像從前一樣那麼單純嗎?
Or has time rewritten every line
還是有時間重寫每一行每一句?
If we had the chance to do it all again
如果我們有機會重來一遍
Tell me, would we, could we
告訴我,可能嗎?可以嗎?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
回憶也許是美麗的
What s too painful to remember
那痛苦得讓我們不願想起的往事是什麼?
we simply choose to forget
竟讓我們乾脆選擇了遺忘
So it s the laughter we will remember
於是,我們將只記住歡笑
Whenever we remember the way we were
當我們回憶起我倆的過去
The way we were
我倆的過去
The Way We Were 往日情懷 ( 1973年) 是部很令人懷念的電影,這部電影是由芭芭拉史翠珊 (Barbara Streisand)和勞勃瑞福 (Robert Redford)主演,故事描述倆人由偶遇到熱戀,但彼此間又對一些事情的看法與價值觀上有所不同,因而兩人間的摩擦不斷.........最後走上分手。多年之後,倆人再度相遇,倆人彼此擁抱著、彼此珍惜著;回憶那段往日情懷。
往日情懷 這部電影在當年獲得最佳電影主題曲和配樂兩項奧斯卡獎,芭芭拉史翠珊也獲得最佳女主角的提名。The Way We Were 這首歌的歌詞雖簡單,但意境卻是很美,因為它述說著;隱藏在我們每個人心中的那份回憶與愛。
