Memory Lyrics By Barry Manilow

    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
    it was beautiful then
    i remember the time i knew what happiness was
    let the memory live again

    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 the 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 day in the sun
    if you touch me you’ll understand what happiness is
    look a new day has begun

    memory
    all alone in the moonlight
    i can smile at the old days
    it was beautiful then
    i remember the time i knew what happiness was
    let the memory live again
