Verse 1:

The thought of you crossed through my mind today

I was reminded of so many years ago

And if I had one wish to make

I would go back in time

For just one day

So it could be the way it was

Chorus:

The way it was was free and easy

Like a breezy summer night

We were young and wild and restless

How did that feeling ever die

And now we’re not the same

Our hearts have changed

But I remember then

How I wish it was the way it was again

Verse 2:

I don’t know where you are or what you’re doin’ now

But I’ll always keep your memory

And I hope that when you’re lonely

You think of me

And go back in your mind

Until you find the way it was

Bridge:

You’re always with me

Hidden away in my mind

A sweet gentle mem’ry
