Memory

SILLABUB:

Daylight, see the dew on the 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 day

MUNKUSTRAP:

Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn

Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife

Announces the cat who can now be reborn

And come back to a different Jellicle life

GRIZABELLA:

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

Let your memory lead you

Open up, enter in

If you find there the meaning of what happiness is

Then a new life will begin

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

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

SILLABUB:

Sunlight, through the trees in summer

Endless masquerading

GRIZABELLA AND SILLABUB:

Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

GRIZABELLA:

The memory is fading

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
