Lyrics:
Memories like the corners of my mind
Memories
Misty watercolor 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
#TheWayWeWere #TrytoRemember #GladysKnight #ThePips #OfficialVideo

I have just had a conversation with my daughter on the phone, she turns eighteen in Feb 2024. We were talking about memories of her childhood, that she has. I suggested after this call listen to this track, she said she would. I found this version, here on Y.T . So here I am in tears. God bless you all who read this and understand the power of our Lord.
