Memory
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
Life was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again.
Every street lamps seems to beat
a fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and a streetlamp sputters
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 …..)
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.
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And think of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la..
La la la la
La la la laaaa.
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la..
La la la la
La la la laaaa.
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la..
La la la la
La la la laaaa.
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la..
La la la la
La la la laaaa.
