In the lamplight the withered leaves Memory. I remember the time Every street lamp seems to beat Daylight. When the dawn comes Burnt out ends of smoky days, Touch me. If you touch me
Midnight.
Not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.
Collect at my feet
And the wind
Begins to moan.
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then.
I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory
Live again.
A fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning.
I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day
Will begin.
The stale cold smell of morning.
The street lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning.
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun.
You'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.
