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 dream of 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.
