Memory (1981 Uk Single) (from "cats") Lyrics - Elaine Paige

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 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 mustn't give in 

When the dawn comes 

Tonight will be a memory too 

And a new day will begin 

(Music interlude) 

Burnt out ends of smoky days 

The stale cold smell of morning 

A streetlamp dies; another night is over 

Another day is dawning... 

Touch me! 

Photos 

It's so easy to leave me 

All alone with my memory 

Of my days in the sun... 

If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is 

Look, a new day has begun.
