The Perfect Year / Memory Songtext
von Liz Callaway

Ring out the old, ring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we alive before tonight?
I don′t need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me
Next year will be the perfect year

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

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street-lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

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

Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading


Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with your memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
