Sadness, Madness

Debby Alten
I used to be a lucky man
Oh a long time ago
Had it all right in my hand
I never thought I would see it go

Then one day it came down on me
And I fell so easily
I remember I had a dream
And I threw it all away

Hello sadness
I see we meet again
Hello madness
My old friend

I've given all that I could give
And I'm down on my knees
Tried so hard to find a way to live
And not to think of how it used to be

And should I get the chance again
I know I'll be the way I should've been
Cause I remember I had a dream
And I threw it all away, I threw it all away

I remember I had a dream
Such a long time ago
But Jesus got a hold on me
And he will never let me go

No more sadness
We'll never meet again
No more madness
Found another friend
