Andrew Lloyd Webber — Memory

[Verse 1: Elaine Paige] 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 [Verse 2: Elaine Paige] Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again [Bridge 1: Elaine Paige] Every streetlamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters And soon It will be morning [Verse 3: Elaine Paige] 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 [Bridge 2: Elaine Paige] Burnt-out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning [Optional Verse] Sunlight through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower, as the day is breaking The memory is fading [Verse 4: Elaine Paige] 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
