The Way We Were Lyrics

Cover art for The Way We Were lyrics by Barbra Streisand

I find this is such a sad song of the harsh realities of life. I am not sure we really get over someone special, maybe we just get over the loss of them in our lives. Memories re-ignite those strong feelings and has us clutching at straws. But sometimes, when you're drowning in a sea of emptiness, clutching straws can seem the only option.
