Memory

by Andrew Llyod Webber

As sung by Betty Buckley on the CD,
The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Broadway Collection

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 blow

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember a 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 can never 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 street lamp 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
