Memory Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber

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 streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

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

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning


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
