Great Break-Up Songs
Posted By Claire on February 19, 2010
I first heard Barbra Streisand’s brilliant and beautiful song “The Way We Were” in her Robert Redford film of the same name. The song captured everything the movie was about, and stands on its own as an achingly melancholy tribute to the passage of time and a love remembered.

Misty water-colored memories
Of 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?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget..
