When the dawn comes the night will be a memory too
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
And soon it will be morning
I can smile at the old days, life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
And a new day will begin
Every street lamp
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
And the wind begins to moan
Burnt out ends of smoky days
Let the memory live again
And a new day will begin
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
Eve lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
Someone mutters at the street lamp gutters
The stale cold smell of morning
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
