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 happy your 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 and 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
 Tonight will be a memory too
 And a new day will begin
 Burnt out ends of smoky days
 The still cold smell of morning
 A street lamp dies, another night is over
 Another day is dawning
 Touch me,
 It is 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...
