The Way We Were 《往日情懷》同名電影主題曲
《回首當年》（The Way We Were）根據阿琴．勞倫茨的小說改編，是好萊塢出品的愛情片中少數具有濃厚政治意味的作品，也是當時具有知識分子味道影片中的代表作。背景為美國50年代美蘇冷戰(zhàn)時期，劇情描寫芭芭拉．史翠珊 （Barbra Streisand）和羅伯特．雷德福（Robert Redford）兩位男女主人公，一個是在校擔任青年政黨聯盟主席，另一個是熱衷運動和寫作的才子，他們在大學校園相識，而到相知相愛，最后卻因為彼此間個性和政治立場的差異而分手。歷經多年后兩人再次重逢，回首往事，不勝感慨。悉尼．波拉克（Sydney Pollack）在執(zhí)導該片時，著重提升影片的思想性，巧妙地把時代氣氛與個人沖突加以揉合，欣賞起來也頗有回腸蕩氣之感。
影片的主題歌“往日情懷”(The Way We Were)，由配樂人馬文．漢姆利胥(Marvin Hamlisch)譜寫音樂部分，著名的夫妻檔作詞人艾倫．伯格曼(Alan Bergman)負責填詞，曾榮獲最佳原作配樂與最佳歌曲兩項金像獎，1973更勇奪年葛萊美獎年度最佳歌曲的殊榮。芭芭拉．史翠珊以吟唱的方式演繹這首除卻巫山不是云的抒情歌曲，一如電影的主題一樣充滿傷感、懷舊和無奈。在這樣的歌聲里，你的憂傷可以徹底釋放和排遣。此曲屬于她在個人演唱會上必唱的經典金曲。
The Way We Were
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water colour memories
Of the way we were
Picture of the smile 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 times rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me would we could we
Memories maybe 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
Memories maybe beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughters
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
