Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory

Is she smiling alone

Am Em

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

D C G

And the wind begins to moan

[Verse 2]

Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

Am Em

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

D C G

Let the memory live again

[Bridge]

Bm C Bm C

Every streetlamp seems to beat

Bm G A D D7

A fatalistic warning

Bm Em A

Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters

Bm E7 A

And soon it will be morning

[Verse 3]

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

Am Em

When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too

D C G

And a new day will begin

[Instrumental]

The stale cold smell of morning

Another day is dawning

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun
