Memory - Elaine Paige(Cats - Broadway)
=========================================================
INTRO . . . . . .
Mid-night,
not a sound from the pave-ment
Has the moon lost her mem-'ry?
She is smi-ling a-lone
In the lamp-light the with-ered
leaves col-lect at my feet
And the wind be-gins to moan
Mem-'ry, all a-lone in the moon-light
I can smile at the old days,
I was beau-ti-ful then
I re-mem-ber the time
I knew what hap-pi-ness was
Let the mem-'ry live - a-gain
Ev-'ry street lamp seems to
beat a fa-ta-list-ic warn-ing
Some-one mut-ters and a street lamp
gut-ters and soon it will be mor-ning
Day-light, I must wait for the sun-rise,
I must think of a new life
and I must-n't give in
When the dawn comes to-night
will be a mem-or-y too
And a new day will be-gin
Mem-'ry, all a-lone in the moon-light
I can smile at the old days,
I was beau-ti-ful then
I re-mem-ber the time
I knew what hap-pi-ness was
Let the mem-'ry live - a-gain
Burnt out ends of smok-ey days,
the stale cold smell of morn-ing
The street lamp dies,
an-oth-er night is ov-er,
an-oth-er day is dawn-ing
Touch me, it's so ea-sy to leave me
All a-lone with the mem-'ry
of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll un-der-stand
what hap-pi-ness is
Look a new day has be-gun
