Epica..Memory

Ok so here is one of my top bands Epica...I love Simone I think she is awesome and I'm completely jealous of her. I love opera and I love metal and she and her fellow band members have blended the 2 perfectly. (this was MY dream to do...lol) I also found a new reason to love them. They covered Memory and its beautiful. I'm a lover of all music and appreciate most of everything and Memory is one of my all time favorite songs since I was a wee lass. I want this song played at my funeral. ( in the original version sung by Elaine Paige ) I am posting the video and lyrics for all of you to enjoy...so do so!





lyrics:
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

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness is
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

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

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun...
