I am in a creative mood.....but I had to post this song from Andrew Loydd 
Weber's "Cats"

MEMORY
------

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 street lamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning;
Someone mutters
And the street lamp gutters;
And soon it will be morning.

Daylight,
I must wait for the sunrise;
I must think of a new light,
And I mustn't give in.

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory, too;
And the new day will begin.

Burned out ends of smoky days -
The stale cold smell of haunting;
A street lamp dies, another night is over -
Another day is dawning.

Touch me,
It's so easy to leave me;
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun.

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is;
Look, a new day has begun.




Enjoi,
Dee
