Memories (from original "Cats" by Andrew Lloyd Webber)
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 is 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
Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies Another night is over Another day is dawning
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
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me You'll understand what happiness is Look a new day has begun...
