Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daylight
See the dew on a sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting
For the day
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies
Another night is over
Another dawn is dawning
[Verse 7]
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my day in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
Written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, T.S. Eliot, Trevor Nunn
