elaine paige - 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 |
|
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 mustnt 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 stale cold smell of morning |
|
the street lamp dies |
|
another night is over |
|
another day is dawning |
|
|
|
touch me |
|
its so easy to leave me |
|
all alone with my memory |
|
of my days in the sun |
|
if you touch me |
|
youll understand what happiness is |
|
look a new day has begun ... |
|
|
|
|
|
~end~ |
