When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Let your memory lead you, open up, enter in
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet
Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
Announces the cat who can now be reborn
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
And the wind begins to moan
Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Endless masquerading
I am waiting for the day
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
And come back to a different Jellicle life
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then
Another day is dawning
Then a new life will begin
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
And a rose that is fading, roses wither away
Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn
