1. Midnight, not a sound from the pavement,
D C#m
has the moon lost her memory ? She is smiling alone.
E F#m
In
the lamp light the withered leaves collect at my feet,

and the wind begins to moan.

2. Memory, all alone in the moonlight,
D C#m
I
can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
E F#m
I
remember the time I knew what happiness was,
A

let the memory live again.
C#m Bm C#m Bm C#mB7 E
Every street lamp
seems to beat a fatalistic warning,

and soon it will be morning.
A F#m
3. Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise,
D C#m
I
must think of a new life, and I mustn`t give in,
E F#m
when the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory, too,
A

D A
and a new day will begin.
