Memory

[Verse 1: Jennifer Hudson]
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory leave you
Open up, enter it
If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

[Verse 2: Jennifer Hudson]
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

[Bridge: Jennifer Hudson]
Burnt-out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
The street's lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

[Verse 3: Jennifer Hudson]
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

[Interlude: Francesca Hayward, Jennifer Hudson & Both]
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking
The memory is fading

[Verse 4: Jennifer Hudson]
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
