Memory (Cats) Lyrics

Day light
see the dew on a sunflower
and a rose that is fading
roses wither away
like the sunflower
i yearn to turn my face to the dawn
i am waiting for the dayMidnight 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 moanMemory, 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 againEvery streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp splutters
And soon

It will be morningDaylight
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(Music interlude)Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning...Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
