Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 has become of all my sadness?
All my endless lonely sighs
Where are my sorrows now?
[Verse 2]
What happened to that 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 bark
Of every tree I pass
For everyone to see
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 has become of all my sadness?
All my endless lonely sighs
Where are my sorrows now?
[Verse 6]
What happened to that 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 bark
Of every tree I pass
For everyone to see
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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 high above
One of them gave a little shove
And I fell gaily, gladly, madly into love
[Verse 9]
What do I care if I'm a juvenile?
I smile my secret little smile
Because I know the change in me is you
[Verse 10]
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 high above
One of them gave a little shove
And I fell gaily, gladly, madly into love
