Memory, from Cats (by Andrew Lloyd Webber)

As performed on the London Cast Recording, circa 1981
 


Bb                            GmMidnight, not a sound on the pavement
                     D#                    DmHas the moon lost a memory? She is smiling alone
        Cm                            GmIn the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
         F              BbAnd the wind begins to moan


 Bb                      GmMemory, all alone in the moonlight
                   D#I can smile at the old days
                DmI was beautiful then
    Cm                           GmI remember the time I knew what happiness was
        F           BbLet the memory live again


Dm     D#         Dm        D#Every street lamp seems to beat 
    Dm   Bb   F A fatalistic warning
Dm       G            C           AmSomeone mutters and a street lamp flutters
    Dm      F       CAnd soon it will be morning


Bb                        Gm Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
                  D#I must think of a new life
                   DmAnd I mustn't give in
         Cm                            GmWhen the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
       F           BbAnd a new day will begin
