Midnight
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 moan

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

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
Soon it will be morning

Burn out ends smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Daylight! I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of new life
And I mustn＇t give in
When the dawn comes tonight will
A memory too
And a new day will begin

Sunlight through the trees in summer
And next morn is waiting
Like a flower as the dawning＇s breaking
The memory＇s 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
Look a new day has begun!
