Memory
By Barbra Streisand

midnight
not a sound from the pavement
has the moon lost her memory
she is smiling alone
in the lamp light
the withered leaves collect at my feet
and the wind begings to moan

memory
all alone in the moonlight
i can smile at the old days
i was beautiful then
i remember the time i knew what happiness was
let the memory live again
every street lamp
seems to beat a fatalistic warning
someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
and soon it will be morning

daylight
i must wait for the sunrise
i must think of a new life
and i mustn’t give in
when the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
and a new day will begin

burnt out ends of smoky days
the stale cold smell of morning
a street lamp dies, another night is over
another day is dawning

touch me
it’s so easy to leave me
all alone with my memory
of my days in the sun
if you touch me
you’ll understand what happiness is
look, a new day has begun
