英語歌詞：

Memory

Memory
Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then the new life will begin

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

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of the new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And the new day will begin

Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading

Like a flower
As the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look
A new day has begun
