Yes indeed! Cream!   Mr. Jack Bruce came up with the original riff. 

Take it away, WordWolf!

I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a...

[Raf]

Really? I'm the only one?

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her xxxxxxxx?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

 

xxxxxxx, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the xxxxxxx live again

 

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
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 xxxxxxxx too
And a new day will begin

 

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

 

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the xxxxxxxx
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

Any chance at all this is "Memories" from the musical "CATS"?????

[Raf]

Singular in every reference, but close enough.

Not a lot of showtunes are universally known, but I genuinely thought this was one of them.
