Verse:
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

Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Look, a new day has begun 
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
