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  [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
