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 dream at the old days
I 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 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 few day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey 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 the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand
What happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
