This next song is a favourite of mine really

Sung usually by Barbara Streisand

And usually sung in a huge way with a big orchestra

And I sang it for probably the first time

Properly for Radio two

Several months ago

With the BBC Concert Orchestra

And it was it was lovely and Brian liked it

And said 'why don't we try it

And why don't we strip it back and make it simple'

So this is The Way We Were

Memories

Like the corners of my mind

Misty water coloured 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

Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time re-written every line

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me would we

Could we

Memories

May be 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

Ooooh

The way we were
