midnight. not a sound from the pavement.
-8 9 -9 9 7 -7 -7
has the moon lost her mem'ry?
-6 7 -7 7 -6 6
she is smiling alone.
6 7 7 -5
in the lamplight,
6 -6 7 -7 -8 9 -8 -7 7
the withered leaves collect at my feet,
6 5 7 -3 -3 -4 5
and the wind begins to moan.
9 9 -8 9 -9 9 -7 9 9
mem'ry. all alone in the moonlight.
-8 9 -9 9 7 -7 -7
i can smile at the old days.
-6 7 -7 7 -6 6
i was beautiful then.
6 7 7 -5
i remember
6 -6 7 -7 -8 9 -8 -7 7
the time i knew what happiness was,
6 5 7 7 -3 -4 5
let the mem'ry live again.
-4 6 -4 -3 -4 6 -4 -3
ev'ry street lamp seems to beat a
-4 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
fatalistic warning.
7 7 7 -8
someone mutters,
-7 7 -6# -6# -6# -7
and the street lamp gutters,
7 -8 -8 -8 9# -9 -7
and soon it will be morning.
9 9 -8 9 -9 9 -7 9 9
daylight. i must wait for the sunrise.
-8 9 -9 9 7 -7 -7
i must think of a new life,
-6 7 -7 7 -6 6
and i mustn't give in.
6 7 7 -5
when the dawn comes,
6 -6 7 -7 -8 9 -8 -7 7
tonight will be a memory too,
6 5 7 7 -3 5 5
and a new day will begin.
3 5 3 -2 -2 3 5 3 -2
burnt out ends of smoky days,
-2 3 5 5 -3# 3# -3# -3#
the stale cold smell of morning.
-5# -5# -5# -5#
the street lamp dies.
7 -6 -5# -5 -5 -5 6
another night is over.
-5# 7 7 7 -7 -7# -6
another day is dawning.
-9# -9# -9 -9# 10# -9# -9#
touch me. it's so easy to leave me,
-9 -9# 10# -9# -7# 9 9
all alone with the mem'ry,
7# -7# 8 -7# 7# 7
of my days in the sun.
7 -7# -7# -6
if you touch me,
7 7# -7# 8 -9 -9# -9 8 -7#
you'll understand what happiness is.
7 -3# -7# -7# 5 -5# -9#
look, a new day has begun.
