Memory by Barbra Streisand

Midnight not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves (1)______________ at my feet
And the wind (2)____________ 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 (3)________ again

Every streetlamp (4)__________ to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning

Daylight
I must (5)________ for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight (6)________ be a memory too
And a new day will begin

(Music interlude)

Burnt out ends of (7)__________ days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning...

Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my (8)________ in the sun...
If you touch me, you'll understand (9)________ happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
