Mem'ries light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored mem'ries 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 rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we

Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were



The way we were

I was running some OpenLDAP benchmarks on a SPARC M8 machine with Solaris 11.3 a week or so ago. It's quite real. Can't talk much about it though. We were using the Sun compiler, not gcc.
