Memory — текст песни (Michael Ball)

(andrew lloyd webber/thomas eliot/trevor nunn)





Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone





In the lamplight

Withered leaves collected at my feet

And the wind begins to blow





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 gutters

And soon

It will be morning





Daylight,

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustnt give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin







Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

The streetlamp dies,

Another night is over

Another day is dawning





Touch me, its so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

Youll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun
