MEMORY
Joseph William Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Day light
I must wait for the sunrise
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
Memory
Memory
And the memory live again

This song is spectacular.
I may or may not have waltzed to it in a church sanctuary with the lights off and the moonlight coming through the windows. Whole. New. Level.
