The Way We Were 往日情怀

英文歌词

　　Memories light the corners of my mind. 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.
　　Can it be that it was all so simple then, or has time rewritten 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. The way we were.
中文歌词
　　回忆照亮了我内心的角落。我俩过去的回忆朦胧如水彩般。散落的照片里，有我们遗落的笑容。也就是我俩过去所给予彼此的笑容。
　　过去有可能那么单纯吗？还是时间重写了每一行每一句？如果我们有机会重来一遍，告诉我，可能吗？可以吗？
　　回忆也许是美丽的，但是太痛苦的往事我们干脆选择了遗忘。 因此，我们将只记住欢笑，每当我们回忆起我俩的过去。我俩的过去。

　　我们平常讲英文的时候，因为紧张造成速度过快，对咬字并不会特别挑剔，使发音变得含糊不清。但唱英文歌的时候，歌词速度比讲话慢，反而会刻意注重咬字。我个人相当喜爱唱英文歌。在享受音乐的同时，我英文的发音在无形之中也获得了实质的进步，一举两得，何乐而不为呢？
