Memory (Sarah Brightman) Lyrics

Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither 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 street lamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
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 beginBurnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawningTouch 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 isLook
A new day has begun
