"Memory" - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cats

Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower and a rose that is fading
Roses whither away like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day
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 at the old days
I was beautiful then
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Somoene mutters and the streetlamp glutters
Soon it will be morning again
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of the new life
And I mustn't give in when the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burn out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me it's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my day in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun
