This Happy Madness

Lyrics for This Happy Madness

What should I call this happy madness That I feel inside of me Some kind of wild October gladness That I never thought I'd see What ever happen to my sadness All my endless, lonely sighs Where are my sorrows now? What happened to the frown? And is that self-contented clown Standing there grinning in the mirror, really me? I'd like to run through Central Park Carve your initials in the back On every tree I pass for every one to see I feel that I've gone back to childhood And I'm skipping through the wild wood So excited that I don't know what to do What do I care if I'm a juvenile? I smile my secret little smile Because I know the change in me is you What should I call this happy madness? All this unexpected joy That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy The gods are laughing far above One of them gave a little shove And I fell gaily gladly, madly into love
