《The Way We Were》（《往日情怀》）是由艾伦·伯格曼作词，马文·汉姆利胥作曲，芭芭拉·史翠珊演唱的歌曲。

影片的主题歌“往日情怀”(The Way We Were)，由配乐人马文·汉姆利胥(Marvin Hamlisch)谱写音乐部分，著名的夫妻档作词人艾伦·伯格曼(Alan Bergman)负责填词，曾荣获最佳原作配乐与最佳歌曲两项金像奖，1973更勇夺年葛莱美奖年度最佳歌曲的殊荣。芭芭拉·史翠珊以吟唱的方式演绎这首除却巫山不是云的抒情歌曲，效果感人肺腑，是属于她在个人演唱会上必唱的经典金曲。

Memories light the corners of my mind

Misty water colour memories

Of the way we were

Scattered picture 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 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

芭芭拉·史翠珊(Barbra Streisand)早在1963年就曾获得格莱美年度唱片奖，1968年她还曾获得奥斯卡奖最佳女主角奖，而1973年她又迎来了事业的另一高峰，她演唱的往日情怀同名主题曲《The Way We Were》获得了当年奥斯卡的最佳原创歌曲奖。这首歌曲也成为了史翠珊第一支Billboard榜首单曲。由阿兰·伯格曼(Alan Bergman)、玛丽莲·伯格曼(Marilyn Bergman)以及马文·哈姆力克(Marvin Hamlisch)撰写的这首歌曲完全捕捉到了电影的浪漫情怀，《往日情怀》当年也为史翠珊赢得了奥斯卡最佳女主角的提名。对在电影和音乐方面统统事业有成的史翠珊来说，《往日情怀》功不可没。

世界天后级歌手邓丽君、香港歌手张国荣、台湾歌手黄小琥翻唱过这首歌。
