Memory (From The Motion Picture Soundtrack "Cats") - Jennifer Hudson

Follow me home If you dare to I wouldn't know Where to lead you Should I take chances When no one took chances on me? So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start With no beauty in my memory All that I wanted Was to be wanted Too young to wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing At least you have something Something to cling to Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into And the memories were lost long ago But at least you have beautiful ghosts Perilous night Their voices calling A flicker of light Before the dawning Out here, the wild ones Are taming the fear within me Scared to call them my friends and be broken again Is this hope just a mystical dream? All that I wanted Was to be wanted Too young to wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing At least you have something Something to cling to Visions of dazzling rooms, I'll never get let into And the memories were lost long ago But at least you have beautiful ghosts And so maybe my home isn't what I had known What I thought it would be But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night And I know that this life isn't safe But it's wild and it's free All that I wanted Was to be wanted I'll never wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing With them, I have something Something to cling to I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into And the memories were lost long ago So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts And the memories were lost long ago So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts

Rising tides Tears you cry, every night, seem never ending But that's just life The last goodbye, high and dry, it leaves you empty You might think your world is ending, but it won't You might think you need to give up, but you don't 'Cause you don't have to move a mountain, just keep moving Every move is a new emotion And you don't have to find the answers, just keep trying The sun will rise again The storms subside again This is not the end And you will love again Summer rain Day by day, sadness fades, the wound is healing And time goes by Eyes will dry, and you will find someone to heal with You might think your world is ending, but it won't You might think you need to give up, but you don't 'Cause you don't have to move a mountain, just keep moving Every move is a new emotion And you don't have to find the answers, just keep trying The sun will rise again The storms subside again This is not the end And you will love again Whoa, you will love again Again Love again You will love again Again Love again 'Cause you don't have to move a mountain, just keep moving Every move is a new emotion And you don't have to find the answers, just keep trying The sun will rise again The storms subside again This is not the end And you will love You will love You will love again
