Memories
Cats Musical



                           
Midnight, not a sound on the pavement
                                         
Has the moon lost a 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

          
Every street lamp seems to beat 
                 
A fainter listening warning
                    
Someone mutters and a street lamp flutters
                  
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

                        
Burnt out ends of smokey days
                    
The stale cold smell of morning
                                              
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
