Memory - From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats"

Lyricist: T.S. Eliot & Andrew Lloyd Webber     Composer: T.S. Eliot & Andrew Lloyd Webber

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory leave you
Open up, enter it
If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Burnt-out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
The street's lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

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

Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading

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
