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 know what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seem to beat
a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters 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 the new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smokey days
the stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies another night
is over anther 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, the new day has begun
