Midnight not a sound from the pavementHas the moon lost her memory?She is smiling aloneIn the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feetAnd the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlightI can smile at the old daysI was beautiful thenI remember the time I knew what happiness wasLet the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beatA fatalistic warningSomeone mutters and the street lamp guttersAnd soon, it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new lifeAnd I mustn't give in
When the dawn comesTonight will be a memory tooAnd a new day will begin
(Music interlude)
Burnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale cold smell of morningA streetlamp dies; another night is overAnother day is dawning...
Touch me!It's so easy to leave meAll alone with my memoryOf my days in the sun...If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
