Memory

Midnightnot a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her mem'ry

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Mem'ryall alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days life was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the mem'ry live again

Ev'ry street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters

and soon it will be morning

Daylight I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

The street lamp dies another night is over;

another day is dawning

Touch me It's so easy to leave me

All alone with my mem'ry of my days in the sun

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

Look !

A new day has begun
