[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Mem'ry

All alone in the moonlight

I can dream of the old days

Life was beautiful then

I remember

The time I knew what happiness was

Let the mem'ry live again

[Bridge]

Ev'ry streetlamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters

And soon it will be morning

[Verse 3]

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 Break]

[Bridge]

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

A streetlamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

[Verse 4]

Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the mem'ry

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun
