Memory

　　from Cats

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smilling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And wind
Begins to moan 

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smill at the old days
I was beatiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory
Live again
Every street lamp
Seems the best
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a streetlamp gutter
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
Brunt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
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
Look a new day
Has begun
