Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you, open up, enter in
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 smokey days, the stale cold smell of morning
The street 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
