Memory Lyrics by Howard Keel

And I Love You So

1984

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her 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
It was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory
Live again
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a streetlamp gutters
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 smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
A streetlamp 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'll touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
A new day
Has begun
