(S) Midnight.

Not a sound from the pavement.

Has the moon lost her mem'ry?

She is smiling alone.

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

and the wind be-gins to moan.

(S A T B) Mem'ry.
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 mem'ry live again.

 

(T B) Ev'ry street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning.

(S A) Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters

and (S A) soon (S A T) it (S A T B) will be morning.

​

(S A T B) 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.

​

Oo - - - 

​

(S A) Burnt out ends of smoky days,
The stale cold smell of morning.
(T) A street lamp dies,
Another night is over,
(S A T B) Another day is dawning.

​

(S A T B) Touch me.
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the mem'ry
Of my days in the sun.
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.
