Memory (From the musical Cats)

Rose
Album : Musicals, Pop Opera...

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 wing begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moon light
I can dream of the old days
life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live agin
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warming
Someone mutters and a street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sun rise
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
Brunt-out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
Its so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me
Youll understand shat happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
