Memory Testo

"memory" (b.straisand)



midnight
not a sound from the pavement
has the moon lost her memory?
she is smiling alone
in the lamplight
the withered leaves collect at my feet


and the wind
begins to moan


memory
all alone in the moonlight
i can smile at the old days
life was beatiful then
i remember the time i knew
what happiness was


let the memory live again



every streetlamp, seems to beat
a fatalistic warning


someone mutters
and a streetlamp 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 smokey days
the stale cold smell of morning


the streetlamp dies
another night is over
another day is dawning

touch me
it's so easy to leave me
all alone with the memory

of my days in the sun
if you touch me


you'll understand what happiness is
look a new days has begun
