Memory

Midnight
not a sound from the pavement
has the moon lost her memory
she is smiling alone

In the lamp light
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 a new 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 my 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
