Try To Remember - 五十至七十年代 (1)

在眾多香港老照片當中，我對五十至七十年代的舊相最情有獨鍾，在此以前的我嫌太舊，以後的又覺得太新了.  無他，六七十年代是我懵懂的童年歲月，看着這些舊相，相中的場景和人士當然已然面目全非了，但，在我朦朧的記憶中，對這些景物仍有粗略的印象; 凝視着這些影像，思緖彷彿回到那些日子。怎麼說好呢？借用Gladys Knight "The Way We Were / Try To Remember"的歌詞:


Hey, you know, everybody's talkin' about the good old days, right
Everybody, the good old days, the good old days
Well, let's talk about the good old days
Come to think of it as, as bad as we think they are
these will become the good old days for our children, hum
Why don't we, ah


Try to remember that kind of September, when
When life was slow and oh, so mellow, hum
Try to remember, and if you remember then follow

Oh, why does it seem the past is always better
We look back and think
The winters were warmer
The grass was greener
The skies were bluer
And smiles were bright

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we
Could we

Memories, like the corners of my mind
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

Hahaa...

Oh, can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me.. haha...
Would we
Could we

Memories, 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...
Remember, the way we were
