2 of my favorite songs Memory from ‘Cats’ , Sailing by Rod StewartSee lyrics below too
I saw the Musical 'Cats' years ago in London it was fantastic, and I loved the song 'Memory'
Sailing-AKA 'We Are Sailing' has been one of my favorite songs for as long as I can remember. Possibly due to my boating life.
Memory This is the best I found its fantastic (in my opinion)

MemoryMemory, 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 streetlamp 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 musn’t give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And the new day will begin
Sunlight through the trees in summer
endless masquerading
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
the memory is fading
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 began
Sailing Rod StewartI am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.
Elaine Paige's version is my favorite, too. Totally gives me chills.
