Memory

(Bb)Midnight. not a sound from the (Gm)pavement.

Has the moon lost her (Eb)memory?

She is smiling (Dm)alone.

In the (Cm)lamplight the withered leaves (Gm)collect at my feet,

and the (F)wind

(Eb)begins to (Bb)moan.

Memory. All alone in the (Gm)moonlight.

I can smile at the (Eb)old days,

I was beautiful (Dm)then.

I (Cm)remember the time I knew what (Gm)happiness was,

let the (F)wind

(Eb)begins to (Bb)moan.

(F)memory (Eb)live (Bb)again.

(Dm)Every street (Cm)lamp (Dm)seems to (Cm)beat a (Dm)(Bbmaj7)(C)fatalistic (F)(Fmaj7)warning.

(Dm)Someone (Gm7)mutters and a (C7)street lamp (Fmaj7)gutters and (Dm)soon it will (G7)be (C)morning.

(Bb)Daylight. I must wait for the (Gm)sunrise,

I must think of a (Eb)new life and I mustn't give (Dm)in.

When the (Cm)dawn comes, tonight will be a (Gm)memory too,

and a (F)new day

(Eb)will (Bb)begin.

(Bbm)Burnt out ends (Abm)of (Bbm)smoky days,

(Abm)the (Bbm)stale cold (Gb)smell (Ab7)of (Db)morning.

The (Bbm7)street lamp (Ebm7)dies another (Ab7)night is (Dbmaj7)over,

(Bbm)another (Eb7)day is (Ab)dawning.

(Db)Touch me.

It's so easy to (Dbm)leave me all alone with the (Gb)memory of my days in the (Fm)sun.

If you (Ebmsus4)touch me you'll (Ebm)understand what (Bbm)happiness is.

Look a (Ab)new day (Gb)has (Db)begun.
