Elaine Paige Memory Lyrics

Memory Lyrics

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 dream of the old days

I was beautiful then

I
remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again



Every streetlamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters

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



(Music interlude)



Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale
cold smell of morning

A streetlamp 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.
