We will miss you, Robert, my friend. Thank you for all these years of acting, producing and directing and for giving life to dozens of characters that have marked our lives forever.
As your Henry Brubaker said, 'I don't see how you can do politics with the truth.' Your characters shook our consciences, offered us unconventional and establishment-critical viewpoints, and moved us again and again with each of your performances.
This time, the raindrops will not stop falling on your head, and although crying is not for you, we will do it for you, and we will always remember the way you were.
Memories
Light 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
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?
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
Light 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
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?
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
The way we were
Storytelling is important.
Part of human continuity.
Robert Redford
