"Memory" Lyrics

(Andrew Lloyd Webber/Trevor Nunn) - reprise d'Elaine Paige

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone.
In the lamplightn the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of 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 the street lamp sputters.
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 stale court 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 my memory of my days in the sun.
If you'll touch me, you'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun...
