The Way We Were/where Do You Start? Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

...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... 

Where do you start? 

How do you separate the present from the past? 

How do you deal with all the things you thought would last 

That didn't last? 

With bits of mem'ries scattered here and there, 

I look around and don't know where to start 

Which books are yours? 

Which tapes and dreams belong to you and which are mine? 

Our lives are tangled like the branches of a vine 

That intertwine 

So many habits that we'll have to break 

And yesterdays we'll have to take apart 

One day, there'll be a song 

Or something in the air again 

To catch me by surprise 

And you'll be there again 

A moment in - 

What might have been....
