Memory Lyrics

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 street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters and soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I musn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new life will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies another night is over
Another day is dawning

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!

I first heard this song as "Piano" on Sarah's Encore album. I absolutely loved it, and knowing it in English makes me love it all the more.
