The Cats

The Cats - Memory lyrics

Your rating:

At last, the time has come for Old Deuteronomy to make 

the Jellicle Choice and decide which one cat will be reborn 

into a new Jellicle life. At that moment, Grizabella reappears. 

Again she recalls her "Memory" of how things used to be. She 

pleads to her brothers and sisters, yearning to come back to 

them. This time, through a greater appreciation of tolerance, 

the cats accept her back into the tribe. 



GRIZABELLA: 

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 



SOLO: 

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: 

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
