Artist:Sarah Brightman
Song:Memory

From cats 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 a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

第五届沪江外文歌唱大赛英语初赛第一名演唱Memory>>

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 smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning

The 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...
