Memory
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflowerAnd a rose that is fadingRoses whither away like the sunflowerI yearn to turn my face to the dawnI am waiting for the dayMidnight, not a sound from the pavementHas the moon lost her memory?She is smiling alone in the lamplightThe withered leaves collect at my feetAnd the wind begins to moanMemory, all alone in the moonlightI can smile at the old days, I was beautiful thenI remember the time I knew what happiness wasLet the memory live againEvery street lampSeems to beat a fatalistic warningSomeone mutters and the street lamp guttersAnd soon it will be morningDaylight, I must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new lifeAnd I mustn't give in when the dawn comesTonight will be a memory tooLetras de cancionesAnd a new day will beginBurnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale cold smell of morningThe street lamp dies, another night is overAnother day is dawningTouch me, it's so easy to leave meAll alone with the memoryOf my days in the sun if you touch meYou'll understand what happiness isLookA new day has begun
