[@themightycongueror8383]

Have know Idea why, but every time I hear this song I feel like I want to cry. To me, it's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.

[@rjjcms1]

It has those things in the lyrics doesn't it,for things past and things to come,and they go with the music so well. We went to see Cats in the West End once,almost the first time I'd read or heard those words of TS Elliott's since school. More to him than his name being (nearly) "toilets" spelt backwards,as was once graffiti'd.

[@BlueEyedAuthor]

This is sadder for me than usual, lately. My boyfriend's mother just died, we were going through her stuff and I found a score to Memory in one of her old boxes. She was a musician for a long time so not surprising. The lyrics remind me of how she was when I knew her, because she had a lot of personal demons, mostly medical. She had such a big personality and spirit though.

when i was a teenager, I got a small role in our local drama club's production of Cats. I earned the title of "understudy cat" because I was the only person in the cast who came into it not only knowing every word of every song, but actively helped coach the man playing Skimbleshanks on remembering his song (that song is beyond brutal, and there shouldn't be such a thing as 13/8ths time). And without fail, every night we performed, I'd hide in the wings and watch our Grizabella belt this out and cry. it is one of the wackiest damn musicals on planet earth, and I wouldn't change a thing.

[@debbie4503]

My cat died 2 months ago, she was my first cat. We rescued her and her kitten from people didn´t love her. She already had hepatitis though. She knew true love the last 2 months of her life, while being with me and my partner, we enjoyed her company for just 2 months. I'll always remember her face while being in the hospital, she always looked at me and my partner like "Thank you, I love you so much". We fought so hard, but maybe she was needed up there. Tears just drop while listening to this song. You will always be beautiful my little Tay. At least in the end, you could feel the warmth and love of a true family. I'll always love you.

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

I remember seeing the musical for the fisrt time when I was 8, and crying endlessly when I heard this song. I still cry now. It doesn't matter how old you are, how beautiful or crippled your life is, this song will always break your heart, because we all know the feeling of walking alone at night and wishing the morning never came.

[@bemolbawsermcv]

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 light 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 mustn't give in. when the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too, and a new day will begin. Burnt out ends of smokey 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.
