回忆

CATS---MEMORY

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 the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning 
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 
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me 
It is 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
