Memory

C
Day light
                 Am
See the dew on a sunflower
                   F
And a rose that is fading
             Em
Roses wither away
         Dm
Like the sunflower
                    Am
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
     G                C
I am waiting for the day
C                             Am
Midnight not a sound from the pavement
                      F
Has the moon lost her memory?
                Em
She is smiling alone
       Dm
In the lamplight,
                        Am
 the withered leaves collect at my feet
         G              C
And the wind begins to moan
C                        Am
Memory, All alone in the moonlight
                   F
I can smile at the old days
                 Em
I was beautiful then
  Dm
I remember
                     Am
the time I knew what happiness was
        G           C
Let the memory live again
Em     Dm         Em      Dm
Every streetlamp seems to beat
  Em  C  D   G
A fatalistic warning
Em      Am
Someone mutters
        D           G
and the street lamp splutters
    Em
And soon
   Am      D
It will be morning
C
Daylight
                     Am
I must wait for the sunrise
                  F
I must think of a new life
                   Em
And I mustn't give in
         Dm
When the dawn comes
                  Am
Tonight will be a memory too
      G            C
And a new day will begin


Em         Dm      Em    Dm
Burnt out ends of smoky days
    Em         C     D  G
The stale cold smell of morning
  Em         Am            D        G
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Em      Am     D
Another day is dawning...
C
Touch me!
                Am
It's so easy to leave me
                   F
All alone with the memory
                  Em
Of my days in the sun...
       Dm
If you touch me,
                       Am
you'll understand what happiness is
        G           C
Look, a new day has begun
