Antonio Carlos Jobim This Happy Madness (Estrada Branca) Lyrics

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

Whatever happened 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 bark
On every tree I pass for everyone to see

I feel that I've gone back to childhood
And I'm skipping through the wildwood
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
