the way we were
Fu Qiong Yin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Memries, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So its the laughter
We will remember




Whenever we remember...
The way we were...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fu Qiong Yin's song The Way We Were are a wistful reflection on memories from the past. The first line, "Misty water-colored memories", sets a nostalgic tone, evoking a hazy, dream-like quality. The singer remembers "the way we were", the good times and laughter shared with loved ones. These memories are represented by "scattered pictures" of "smiles we left behind", moments of joy and happiness that have been captured and preserved.


However, the singer also acknowledges that time has passed and "time re-written every line", suggesting that the memories are not as clear as they once were. The question is raised: "If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we? could we?" This expresses a longing to go back in time and relive the happy moments with the people they miss, but it also acknowledges that things might not be the same if they were to try.


The final lines of the song express a bittersweet truth, that memories can be beautiful and painful at the same time. It's easier to remember the laughter, but there were also moments of pain and sadness that are too difficult to dwell on. The song ultimately captures the mix of emotions that come with looking back on sweet memories of the past.


Overall, Fu Qiong Yin's The Way We Were is a poignant reflection on the joys and sorrows of memory, as well as a testament to the power of shared laughter to endure through time.
