Memory - Jennifer Hudson

Memory, turn your face to the moonlight

Let your memory leave you

Open up, enter me

If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is

Then a 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 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

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
