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!   It's so easy to leave me   All alone with the memory   Of my days in the sun...   If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is   Look, a new day has begun.
