Celine Dion is known as one of the most powerfully enchanting singers in the history of the world. Whether it be her natural talent, her physical grace, powerful vocal control, or her flourishing additions, there are a myriad of reasons that her star has risen and has remained high in the sky.
Dressed up as the beautiful Grizabella from the mega-popular Broadway hit CATS, Dion manages to tell the whole story while completely nailing the difficult vocals of this intense song.
Memory
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 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 life will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky 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...
