Memory

Bb
Midnight
                     Gm
Not a sound from the pavement
                      Eb
Has the moon lost her memory?
                Dm
She is smiling alone
       Cm
In the lamplight
                       Gm
The withered leaves collect at my feet
        F
And the wind
Eb        Bb
Begins to moan.


Bb
Memory
                  Gm
All alone in the moonlight
                   Eb
I can smile at the old days
                 Dm
I was beautiful then
     Cm
I remember
                     Gm
The time I knew what happiness was
         F
Let the memory
Eb     Bb
Live again.


Dm       Cm
Every street lamp
Dm        Cm
Seems to beat
  Dm   Bb C  F        F7
A fatalistic warning
Dm      Gm7
Someone mutters
      C7          F7
And a street lamp gutters
    Dm       G7     C
And soon it will be morning


Bb
Daylight
                    Gm
I must wait for the sunrise
                   Eb
I must think for a new life
                   Dm
And I mustn't give in
          Cm
When the dawn comes
                  Gm
Tonight will be a memory too
       F
And a new day
Eb      Bb
Will begin


Dm        Cm
Burnt out ends
    Dm    Cm
Of smoky days
     Dm          Bb  C   F      F7
The stale cold smell of morning
Dm               Gm7
The street lamp dies
  C7             F7
Another night is over
  Dm     G7     C
Another day is dawning


Bb
Touch me
                 Gm
It's so easy to leave me
                   Eb
All alone with the memory
                  Dm
Of my days in the sun
        Cm
If you touch me
                       Gm
You'll understand what happiness is
         F
Look, a new day
Eb     Bb
has begun
