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 howl Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then I remember a time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to reach a fatalistic warning Someone mutters at the street lamp's lattice 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 Mantle tents of smoky days The stale, cold smell of morning A street lamp glows out and the night is over Another day is coming But still the wind is with me All alone in my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
