Memory

Jose Carreras


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 begins to moan

Mem'ry, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days, Life was beautiful then
I remember, The time I knew what happiness was
Let the mem'ry live again

Ev'ry 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 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 life 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 mem'ry, Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun ...
