Memory

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
Life was beautiful then
I remeber the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sinrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And the new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memories
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness means
Look a new day has begun.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius
