[D]
Day that [Bm] you want a sun for a rose [G] that is fading, roses wither [Gbm] away.
Like [A] [Em] the sunflower I yearn to turn [Bm] my face to the dawn.
I [A] am waiting
[G] for [D] 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 [Gm] to the moonlight.
Let your [Eb] memory lead you.
Open up, [D] enter in.
[Dm] If [Cm] you find there the meaning of [Gm] what happiness is,
then [F] a new life
[Bb] will begin.
Memory, all alone [Gm]
I can smile [Eb] at the old days.
I was [D] beautiful then.
[Dm]
I [Cm]
remember a time I knew [Gm] what happiness was.
Let [F] the memory [Eb] live [Bb] again.
[Dm]
Burnt out [Eb] ends [Dm] of smoky [Eb] days, [Dm] the stale, [Bb] cold smell [C]
[F] of morning.
[Dm] A street lamp [Gm] dies, [C] another night [F] is over.
[Dm] For [G]
[C]
[Bb]
[Gm] the sun, I must think [Eb] of a new, and I [Dm] mustn't give in.
When [Cm] the dawn comes, tonight will be [Gm] a memory too.
[F] And a new day [Eb] will [Bb]
begin.

[Gb] [Fm] in the sky, if [Ebm] you touch me, [Fm] you'll understand [Bbm] what happiness is.
Look, [Ab] a new
[Gb] path
[Db] leads up.
