    So, my grandma got me a snow globe when I was maybe 6ish? And it plays this song. We moved 2.5 hours away when I was 9. Didn't see her but once at a family reunion when I was 14, and then again right before she died of lung cancer when I was 22. I still have the snow globe even though the glass shattered, and it's just a base. But it plays this song, and I play it whenever I think of her. And it reminds me of how wonderful she was to grow up with during the years that I had her. I know she's in heaven, and I cannot wait to see her again! I'm guessing she'll tell me every time she popped in my head, it was because she was with me and no doubt she'll ask me about my snowglobe 😆💝 Thank you for this beautiful version!!

    I work in a senior care facility w/ a memory care unit. 1 resident taught himself how to play the piano. He can pick up a tune and play it on the piano as if he knew every key and cord his entire life. The 1 song he plays so majestically is this 1.
    If I wasn't so scared 2 sing in public I'd join in while he played bc I've always loved this song. I told him 1 day I will and he was so happy. It's on my list now.

    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 dream of the old days
    I was beautiful then
    I remember the time I knew what happiness was
    Let the memory live again
    Every streetlamp seems to beat
    A fatalistic warning
    Someone mutters and the 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 smoky days
    The stale cold smell of morning
    A streetlamp dies; another night is over
    Another day is dawning
    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.

    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
    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
    A time I knew what happiness was
    Let the memory live again
    Burnt out ends of smoky days
    The stale, cold smell of morning
    The streetlamp dies in the cold air
    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 dawn comes
    Tonight will be a memory too
    And a new day will begin
    Sunlight through the trees in 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
