Memory

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
It was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

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 the new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over, another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my day in the sun

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
It was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
