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 happy your days
Life was [Am7]beautiful then
I ɾemember the time
I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again
Every stɾeet lamp seems to [C7]beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the stɾeet lamp gutters
And soon [C7]it will be [Am]morning.
Daylight
I must wait for [Dm7]the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustnt give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be [Am]a memory too
And a new day will begin.
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A stɾeet lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning.
Touch me,
It is so easy to [C7]leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my [A]days in the sun
If you [A7touch me
You''ll understand [Bm]what happiness is
Look, a new day
Has begun.
