Memory是由作曲家安德鲁•洛伊•韦伯根据T•S•艾略特的诗集《老负鼠的猫经》及其他诗歌所编写的一部音乐剧Cats中的歌曲。
它虽然一向没有评论家的钟爱,却是历史上最成功的音乐剧之一,而且,自1981年在伦敦首演以来,它曾经被翻译成二十多种文字在全世界各个角落演出。
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 dream of the old days
Life 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 sputters
Soon it will be morning
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
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale court smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you'll touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun...
