Memory (act 2 2nd Time) Lyrics

SILLABUB:

 Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower

 And a rose that is fading

 Roses wither away

 Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

 I am waiting for the day

 

 MUNKUSTRAP:

 Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn

 Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife

 Announces the cat who can now be reborn

 And come back to a different Jellicle life

 

 GRIZABELLA:

 Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

 Let your memory lead you

 Open up, enter in

 If you find there the meaning of what happiness is

 Then a new life will begin

 

 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

 

 Burnt out ends of smokey days

 The stale cold smell of morning

 The street lamp dies, another night is over

 Another day is dawning

 

 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

 

 SILLABUB:

 Sunlight, through the trees in summer

 Endless masquerading

 

 GRIZABELLA AND SILLABUB:

 Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

 

 GRIZABELLA:

 The memory is fading

 

 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
