Sarah Brightman - Memory Lyrics

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 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*

Burnt out ends
Of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawing

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun
[Fade out last note then fade in with high C]
