Memory

(album: Glee: The Music, Old Dog, New Tricks - 2014)

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 dream of the old days
Life was beautiful 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 musn'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 (Days in the sun)

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day

Has begun (Has begun)
