This Happy Madness-多和田えみ

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 sights?

Where are my sorrows now?

What happened to the frown?

And is that self contented clown standing there

Ginning in the mirror realy me?

I'd like to run through Central Park

Carve your initials in the back of every tree

I pass for everyone 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 smile

Because I know the changes 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, gladdy madly into love
