1.
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.
2.
Memory. All alone in the moonlight,
I can smile at the old days. Life was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
let the memory live again.
Bridge
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning. Someone mutters
and a street lamp gutters and soon it will be morning.
3.
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.
