Memory II(by Grizabella and Jemima)
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.
.
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
.
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
And 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 streetlamp 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.
.
Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
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
