Cats- Memory

[Guest greatness]

Daylight

See the dew on the sunflower

And a rose that is fading

Roses whither away

Like the sunflower

I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

I am waiting for the day . . .

 

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

I 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 the streetlamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

 

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn'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

The 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 touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

 

Look

A new day has begun

This is a such a melancholy song. I remember being bored to tears by Cats back when it was the hot show instead of the cliche and then unexpectedly I was transfixed as Betty Buckley sang this song as she slowly rose on a platform and out of the alley and into the heavens.

So Greatness, I hope this song represents a rebirth here and in your own life. A wistful look at the past, a hopeful glance forward and then a clear eyed view of the present are my wish for you today.

You sound like a mind reader. Somehow this song touched me and I could relate to it... I can't turn back time but I have a little time in front of me start again.
