歌詞
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water colour memories
Of the way we were
Scattered picture 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 times rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me would we could we
Memories maybe 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
Memories maybe beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughters
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
歌手信息
芭芭拉·史翠珊(Barbra Streisand)早在1963年就曾獲得格萊美年度唱片獎,1968年她還曾獲得奧斯卡獎最佳女主角獎,而1973年她又迎來了事業的另一高峰,她演唱的往日情懷同名主題曲《The Way We Were》獲得了當年奧斯卡的最佳原創歌曲獎。這首歌曲也成為了史翠珊第一支Billboard榜首單曲。由阿蘭·伯格曼(Alan Bergman)、瑪麗蓮·伯格曼(Marilyn Bergman)以及馬文·哈姆力克(Marvin Hamlisch)撰寫的這首歌曲完全捕捉到了電影的浪漫情懷,《往日情懷》當年也為史翠珊贏得了奧斯卡最佳女主角的提名。對在電影和音樂方面統統事業有成的史翠珊來說,《往日情懷》功不可沒。
世界天后級歌手鄧麗君、香港歌手張國榮、台灣歌手黃小琥翻唱過這首歌。
