Midnight, not a sount 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 like of 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 fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters, and the street lamp sputters
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 smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning.
The 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 was.
Look, a new day has begun
