Memory

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all 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 memory live again

Every street lamp

Seems to beat a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters at the 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 the night will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

Eve lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

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

And a new day will begin
