Daylight, see the dew on the 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

 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

 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 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 the 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
