Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Midnight, not a sound on the pavement

 Has the moon lost a 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 smile at the old days

 I was beautiful then

 I remember the time I knew what happiness was

 Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat

 A fainter listening warning

Someone mutters and a street lamp flutters

 And soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise

 I must think of a new life

 And I mustn'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

A street lamp 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

 If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun
