Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Perfect Year Memory Lyrics

[Part I: The Perfect Year]

[Verse 1]
Ring out the old, ring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we alive before tonight?
I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me
Next year will be
The perfect year

[Part II: Memory]

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

[Verse 4]
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

[Bridge]
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading

[Verse 5]
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with your memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
