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 smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will bе morning

Daylight i must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new lifе
And I mustn't give in when the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

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

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

Touch me it's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun if you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
