Madge |
| It was 1927 |
| Had the world at my feet |
| A pretty girl on each arm |
| My family was so proud of me |
| I built a lot of buildings |
| Tore half of 'em down |
| One by one |
| They all crumbled just like me |
| But like a storm in a teacup |
| Like a smile sent down from heaven |
| Madge, I loved you then |
| And I love you now |
| We ate in the finest restaurants |
| Had the wealthiest friends |
| Most of them are gone now |
| No one left to say, «I knew you when» |
| It seems so long since I’ve remembered |
| The girl I used to know |
| She never saw any of my money |
| But she watched it come and go |
| Like a storm in a teacup |
| Like a smile sent down from heaven |
| Madge I loved you then |
| And I love you now |
| They call this place «Sunnyside» |
| But I ain’t seen the sun |
| In a long, long time |
| And my hands don’t seem too steady now |
| But they’re still holding onto you |
| Madge, she’s probably married now |
| In a nice white house |
| And me I just sit here in my room |
| Quiet as a mouse |
| But I got my TV turned up loud |
| I’m not going to hear myself retreat |
| If only I’d have kept her |
| I’d have stayed on my feet |
| Like a storm in a teacup |
| Like a smile sent down from heaven |
| Madge I loved you then and I love you now… |
