              Intro: C# Bbm F# Fm Ebm G#7 
 
C#                             Bbm 
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement 
                      F#                      Fm 
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone 
       Ebm                               Bbm 
In the lamplight, the withered leaves, collected my fee 
        G#              C#   G#7 
And the wind, begins to moan 
C#                       Bbm 
Memory, all alone in the moonlight 
                   F#                         Fm 
I can smile at the old days, it was beautiful then 
    Ebm                         Bbm 
I remember the time I knew what happiness was 
        G#            C#    
Let the memory, live again 
 
Instrumental 
 
Ebm G#7 Fm Bbm Eb7 G#7 
 
D                             Bm 
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise 
                  G                            F#m 
I must think of a new life, and I mustn't give in 
         Em                            Bm 
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too 
      A               D   Bm G 
And a new day, will begin 
F#m       G        F#m  G 
Burnt out ends of smoky days 
     F#m        Bm   E      C#m A 
The stale cold smell,   the morning 
     F#m        Bm            E        C#m    
The street lamp dies, another night is over  
 F#m    B7     E7/4 E7 
Another day is dawning 
Eb                        Cm 
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me  
                   G#                      Gm 
All alone with the memory of my day in the sun 
       Fm                               Cm 
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is 
       Bb             Eb  B7 
Look a new day, has begun 
E                        C#m 
Memory, all alone in the moonlight 
                   A                          G#m 
I can smile at the old days, it was beautiful then 
    F#m                         C#m 
I remember the time I knew what happiness was 
        B7           E 
Let the memory live again...
