«Memory».
авт. Tim Rice
Streetlights, and the darkness between them,
Like the good and bad sites,
Of a life almost done,
Shake the memory of my passions returning to me,
None forgotten, no not me.
One life, is there only the one life
That was lost in the living
In a endless decline?
No complaining for no one else has seen what I’ve seen
One existence, only mine.
Don’t look back no don’t look back
So hard to heed that warning
Such temptation but the past is past
And the night makes way of morning.
Daylight, I won’t care if it finds me
With no breath in my body
With no beat in my heart
For I’m certain that now I know what happiness is
Wish I’d Known that from the start
Burnt out ends of smokey days,
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning!
Touch me, is there no one to touch me
It was easy to love me
In my glamorous past
As I leave you a shadow of the light I once was
May my memory sleep at last.
It was discarded because there is a suicide threat in it, and Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted “CATS” to be a family musical….
Такой текст известной песни мне нравится больше, более трагичнее, и больше подходит Гризабелле и той ситуации в которой она оказалась, но семейному мюзиклу такая трагичность ни к чему
(авт известной версии - Trevor Nunn)
