Midnight, not a sound from the pavement,  
        C             F       Am     F        Em 
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone;  
       G   G7        F                 Am          C 
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet,  
        G       Am      C 
And the wind, begins to moan.

Memory, all alone in the moonlight, I can smile at the old days,  
Am       F         Em      G    G7      F                Am        C 
Life was beautiful then; I remember the time I knew what happiness was,  
        G       Am    C 
Let the memory, live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat, a fa.talistic warning, 
Em                 D                         G       A       D  D7 
Someone mutters, a street lamp flutters, and soon it will be morning.

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise, I must think of a new life,  
Am    F            Em           G    G7      F               Am     C 
And I mustn't give in; when the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too,  
      G        Am     C 
And a new life will begin.

Of my days in the sun; if you touch me you'll understand what happiness is,

Look, a new day, has   begun ...    (Slowing)
