Hayley Westenra - Memory Lyrics
Midnight.Not a sound from the pavement.Has the moon lost her memory?She is smiling alone.In the lamplight the withered leavesCollect at my feetAnd the windBegins to moan.Memory.All alone in the moonlightI can smile at the old days,I was beautiful then.I remember the timeI knew what happiness was,Let the memoryLive again.Every street lamp seems to beatA fatalistic warning.Someone mutters and a street lamp guttersAnd soon it will be morning.Daylight.I must wait for the sunrise,I must think of a new lifeAnd I mustn't give in.When the dawn comesTonight will be a memory tooAnd a new dayWill 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 meAll alone with the memoryOf my days in the sun.If you touch meYou'll understand what happiness is.Look, a new day has begun.
