Memory 1. Play
Elaine Paige – Barbra Streisand
Bb Gm
Midnight, not a sound on the pavement
Eb Dm
Has the moon lost a memory? She is smiling alone
F Eb Gm
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
F Bb
And the wind begins to moan
Bb Gm
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
Eb
I can smile at the old days
Dm
I was beautiful then
F Eb Gm
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
F Bb
Let the memory live again
Dm
Every street lamp seems to beat
F Bb F
A fainter listening warning
Dm C
Someone mutters and a street lamp flutters
F G C
And soon it will be morning
Bb Gm
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
Eb
I must think of a new life
Dm
And I mustn’t give in
F Eb Gm
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
F Bb
And a new day will begin
Bbm
Burnt out ends of smokey days
C# F# C#
The stale cold smell of morning
Bbm Ab
A street lamp dies another night is over
C# Eb Ab
Another day is dawning
C# Bb
Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me
F#
All alone with the memory
F
Of my days in the sun
Ab F# Bbm
If you touch me you’ll understand what happiness is
Ab C#
Look, a new day has begun
