Memory [From Cats]

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

Sunlight, through the trees in the summer
The stale cold smell of morning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Another day is dawning
The memory is fading
And a new day will begin
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
Memory, all alone in the moonlight

All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
And a rose that is fading, roses wither away

And come back to a different Jellicle life
I am waiting for the day
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
The street lamp dies, another night is over
And the wind begins to moan
In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
Burnt out ends of smoky days

Announces the cat who can now be reborn
Let the memory live again
Let your memory lead you, open up, enter in
Then a new life will begin
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Endless masquerading

Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then
