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 a time I knew what happiness was
|
Let the memory live again.
|
|
Every 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 day will begin.
|
|
(Instrumental)
|
|
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
|
Look a new day has begun.
