Memory (1981)
1. Midnight, not a
sound from the pavement,
C
Bm
has the moon lost her memory ? She is
smiling alone.
D
Em
In the lamp light the withered leaves
collect at my feet,
G
D C G
and the wind be - gins
to moan.
2. Memory, all alone
in the moonlight,
C Bm
I can smile at the old days, I was
beautiful then.
D Em
I remember the time I knew what happiness
was,
G
D C G
let the memory live again.
Every street lamp seems to beat a
fatalistic warning,
Bm
Em A F#m
someone mutters and the street lamp gutters,
Bm E
A
and soon it will be morning.
3. Daylight, I must
wait for the sunrise,
C Bm
I must think of a new life, and I mustn`t
give in,
D Em
when the dawn comes, tonight will be a
memory, too,
G
D C G
and a new day will begin.
Bm
Am Bm Am
Bm A D
Burnt-out ends of smoky days, the stale cold
smell of morning,
Bm Em A F#m
the street-lamp dies, another night is
over,
Bm
E A
another day is dawning.
4. Touch me, it`s so
easy to leave me,
C Bm
all alone with the memory of my days in the
sun.
D
Em
If you touch me you`ll understand what
happiness is,
G
D C G
look, a
new day has begun.
