Daylight. See the dew on the sunflower and a rose that is fading
Roses whither away;Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

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

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

Every streetlamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I musn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days the stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
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
