original australia cast of cats - memory (1985 australian cast) lyrics
[jemima]
daylight
see the dew on a sunflower
and a rose that is fading
roses wither away
like the sunflower, i yearn to turn my face to the dawn
i am waiting for the day
[munkustrap, spoken]
now old deuteronomy, just before dawn, through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife
announces the cat who can now be reborn
and come back to a different jellicle life
[grizabella, sung]
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 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 smoky days
the stale cold smell of morning
a 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
[jemima]
sunlight throughout the trees in summer
endless masquerading
[jemima & grizabella]
like a flower as the dawn is breaking
[grizabella]
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
