Memory Songtext
von Ray Conniff

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves, collected my fee
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days, life 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 streetlamp 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

A street lamp 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


If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day, has begun
