Memory

I think all of us want to hear that song by Susan. Here is the version I'd love to hear, wich is, in fact, a group song, with Susan singing the main parts. It is basicially the second act version (I like it better than act one or the non-musical version), with some tiny changes.

Máiréad N enters the stage in the middle, fiddling a very short medley of the basic Jellicle melodies, then a short version The Moments Of Happiness

Lisa Lambe enters the stage (on the lest side), singing
Moonlight
Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

Máiréad starts to fiddle again, this time the melody of Memory, as a short intro

Mairéad Carlin enters the stage (on the right side), singing
Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day

Mái N goes to the background she and Susan are nodding to each other, while Susan goes to the middle of the stages, everyone is focused on her, and she starts to sing
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin

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

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

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

Máiréad N then starts to fiddle again, a little closer to Susan and Lisa L and Mairéad C now start to sing
Sunlight, through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading

Susan is joining them in
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking

and sings alone
The memory is fading

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

All sing together (with Máiréad fiddling)
Look, a new day has begun

So, what do you think about it? I can totally see Lisa and Mai sing these parts, with their high, sweet voices. But even though it's basicially the same role, I think Lisa is more a Jemima-type and Mai more a Sillabub-type...
