Elaine Paige Performs 'Memory' - Royal Albert Hall | Cats the Musical

  • 0:18 - 0:21
    Midnight
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    Not a sound from the pavement
  • 0:25 - 0:30
    Has the moon lost her memory
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    She is smiling alone
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    In the lamplight
  • 0:39 - 0:45
    The withered leaves collect at my feet
  • 0:45 - 0:53
    And the wind begins to moan
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    Memory
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    All alone in the moonlight
  • 0:59 - 1:04
    I can smile at the old days
  • 1:04 - 1:09
    I was beautiful then
  • 1:09 - 1:19
    I remember the time
    I knew what happiness was
  • 1:19 - 1:26
    Let the memory live again
  • 1:26 - 1:33
    Every street lamp seems to beat
  • 1:33 - 1:39
    A fatalistic warning
  • 1:39 - 1:46
    Someone mutters
    and the street lamp gutters
  • 1:46 - 1:55
    And soon it will be morning
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    Daylight
  • 1:57 - 2:02
    I must wait for the sunrise
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    I must think of a new life
  • 2:06 - 2:11
    And I mustn't give in
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    When the dawn comes
  • 2:14 - 2:21
    Tonight will be a memory too
  • 2:21 - 2:29
    And a new day will begin
  • 2:44 - 2:50
    Burnt out ends of smoky days
  • 2:50 - 2:57
    The still cold smell of morning
  • 2:57 - 3:03
    A street lamp dies,
    another night is over
  • 3:03 - 3:12
    Another day is dawning
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    Touch me
  • 3:16 - 3:21
    It's so easy to leave me
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    All alone with the memory
  • 3:26 - 3:33
    Of my days in the sun
  • 3:33 - 3:36
    If you touch me
  • 3:36 - 3:44
    You'll understand
    what happiness is
  • 3:44 - 4:04
    Look, a new day has begun

Lyrics:
Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And the 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

About:
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.

The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
