Memory (Cats)

+4 +4 
Midnight 
 -3    +4   -4       +4     -3bb      +4 +4
Not a sound from the pavement 
 -3       +4     -4    +4    +3       -3bb  -3bb 
Has the moon lost her memory?  
-2bb   -2    -3bb  -2    -2bb +2 
She is smiling alone... 
+2     -2       -2 -1 
In the lamplight, 
+2          -2bb -2         -3bb 
The withered leaves 
-3  +4     -3   -3bb     -2 
Collect at my feet 
+2       +1     -2       -3bb -3bb   +4  +4 
And the wind begins to moan... 


 
+4 +4 
Memory, 
 -3   +4 -4  +4  -3bb  +4 +4 
All alone in the moonlight  
-3   +4   -4    +4    +3    -3bb     -3bb 
I can dream of the old days 
-2bb  -2    -3bb -2 -2bb    +2 
I was beautiful then... 
+2    -2 -2 -1 
I remember 
+2       -2bb   -2     -3bb       -3 
The time I knew what 
+4 -3 -3bb         -2 
Happiness was 
+2    +1      -2  -2     -3bb   +4 +4 
Let the memory live again... 
 


-3 +5         -3 -3bb           -3       +5    -3 
Every streetlamp seems to beat  
-3   -3 +5 +5 -4    -4 -4
A fatalistic warning 
+6    +6             +6  -7 
Someone mutters 
 -6         +6          +5o  +5o           +5o  -6 
And the streetlamp gutters 
+6           -7     -7    -7    -7o     -8 -6 
And soon it will be morning.... 
  
 
+7 +7 
Daylight  
-7   +7   -8   +7   -6    +7 +7 
I must wait for the sunrise 
 -7   +7    -8   +7  +6   -6   -6 
I must think of a new life 
-5  +6    -6  +6     -5  +5 
And I mustn't give in... 
+5            +6          +6          -4 
When the dawn comes 
 +5  -5      +6    -6   -7  +7 -7 -6   +6 
Tonight will be a memory too 
 +5   +4    +6     +6   -6   +7 +7 
And a new day will begin...  
 
 
+6          +7     +6    -5    +6 +7    +6 
Burnt out ends of smoky days 
 -5       +6      +7     +7    +6o   +6o +6o 
The stale cold smell of morning 
 +4o     +4o +4o    +4o 
A streetlamp dies, 
 +6 -5 +4o    -4   -4    -4 -5 
Another night is over 
 +4o +6 +6     +6    -6    +6o -5 
Another day is dawning... 
 
+8b +8b 
Touch me!  
-8  +8b  -9 +8b   +7   +8b    +8b 
It's     so         easy        to    leave    me 
 -8  +8b -9  +8b  +6o  +7 +7 
All   alone   with   the   memory 
 -6b  +6o  +7  +6o  -6b   +6 
Of my days in the sun...  
+6   +6o   +6o    -5 
If you touch me, 
 +6           -6b +6o +7 
You'll understand 
 -8   +8b -8 +7   +6o
What happiness is 
 +6      +4o   +6o   +6o 
Look, a new day 
 +4   +4o +4o 
Has begun....
