To Live Life Madly

- To Live Life Madly -

When the sun set on all the world tonight,
And not one, knew that I was watching�
My hot tears fell, under moon-glow bright.
While I cried, until I started mad laughing!
I saw dancing girls by the side of the road,
And I smiled at their love of life and living.
I wanted to kiss one and lighten her load�
And quench my loneliness, so unforgiving.
But I had to continue upon my way home,
For others depend upon all that I can do�
And love today is not free simply to roam!
So I contain my passion, until it must cool.

So the sun, sets on the sad world this eve,
And I look for rainbows in the darkness�
Trying not to look into the past and grieve.
For in sorrow there can be no happy rest!
I remember who I am, and I obey a code,
That no one recalls the true worth thereof.
I gaze up at the stars and I dare to hope�
And somehow once more I pray for love!
Does anyone understand, my heavy mind?
The places where my thoughts dare to fly,
And all the dreams I hope one day to find.
People call me mad, but one can only try!

People look to the dawn, and see the sun,
I look to a new day, and seek a beginning.
A world where we may be free, have fun!
And no one tells you, that you are sinning.
Oh, to run out on the fields with a maiden,
And pluck some flowers to put in her hair!
No loftier heaven for me, not now or then,
Only so simple a desire, beyond compare.
Come run with me, maid, if you feel as I�
And let the dawn�s dew wet our bare feet.
Why fight our desires, and all senses deny,
Life should be lived madly, savored sweet!
