Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .
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
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 streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn'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
The 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
~ "Memories" from Cats
Finally I went to watch this musical last night! There is no basis of comparison since I have not had a chance to watch it before. There were some minor trials and I thought I would not have the chance to watch it again. The first ticket I bought was for opening day, and I was in Phuket then. The second ticket I bought was on the day of the retreat. In the end, a friend kindly offered to buy me the tickets and I got to watch it in the end.
The performance is great! Nice music, with even nicer dance choreography! Nice makeup too, although there are supposed to be cats of all breeds. Cats from the gutter, cats on ships, main cats characters in the moonlight. And the song "Memories" - beautiful, haunting and touching! How I wish there can be another run then I can watch it again!
