[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Mem'ry
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the mem'ry live again

[Bridge]
Ev'ry streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning

[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

[Verse 4]
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the mem'ry
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
