Memory - Barbra Streisand
1:15 AM 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 happy your days ( 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 gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustnt 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 still cold 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 touch me, Youll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun... Memory is the showstopper song from the musical Cats sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now a shell of her former self. The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wishes to start a new life. Sung near the end of the show, Memory is the climax of the musical, and by far the musical's most popular and well-known song. The song was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The lyrics were written by Trevor Nunn, and based on TS Eliot's poem, "Rhapsody on a Windy Night". Lloyd Webber, fearing that the tune sounded too similar to a work of Puccini, asked his father's opinion. According to Lloyd Webber, his father responded, "It sounds like a million dollars!" It is arguably Lloyd Webber's biggest hit, inspiring thousands of renditions. Notable artists who have made the song popular include Elaine Paige (the original Grizabella), Barbra Streisand, and Barry Manilow. The song's climax is in the key of D-flat major, the composer's favorite. It is often referred to as "Memories", which is incorrect. The correct title is the singular "Memory". [Not sure where the video is from, but it incorrectly refers to the song as "Memories" as well |
