Madge Lyrics - Stephen Bishop

(Stephen Bishop) 

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...
