In a world like today |
|
It's a rare occasion to be able |
|
To see young mothers like the ones |
|
That were around when I grew up |
|
But they live on in memory |
|
To quite a few of us |
|
And this song is dedicated |
|
To those who cherish that memory |
|
Early one Sunday morning |
|
Breakfast was on the table |
|
There was no time to eat |
|
She said to me, \"Boy, hurry to Sunday school\" |
|
Filled with her load of glory |
|
We learned the holy story |
|
She'll always have her dreams |
|
Despite the things this troubled world can bring |
|
Oh, Sadie |
|
Don't you know we love you |
|
Sweet Sadie |
|
Place no one above you |
|
Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) |
|
Living in the past |
|
Some times it seems so funny |
|
But no money will turn your life around |
|
Sweeter than cotton candy |
|
Stronger than papa's old brandy |
|
Always that needed smile |
|
Once in awhile she would break down and cry |
|
Some times she'd be so happy |
|
Just being with us and daddy |
|
Standing the worst of times |
|
Breaking the binds with just a simple song |
|
Oh, Sadie (oh, Sadie, baby) |
|
Don't you know we love you (she'll love us all in a special way) |
|
Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) |
|
Place no one above you |
|
Sweet Sadie (sweet Sadie livin' in the past) |
|
Living in the past |
|
Oh, she's never sinnin' |
|
In love she's always winnin, yeah |
|
Sadie (My, my, my, my, my) |
|
Don't you know we love you (I love you, mama) |
|
Sweet Sadie |
|
Place no one above you (I just can't forget) |
|
Sweet Sadie (how you gave me love, oh, Lord) |
|
Living in the past |
|
If there's a heaven up above |
|
I know she's teaching angels how to love |
|
Sadie (It's a mean world without you) |
|
Don't you know we love you |
|
Sweet Sadie (all the love you showed) |
|
Place no one above you (oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word) |
|
Sweet Sadie |
|
Living in the past |
|
Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money |
|
It's just the love you gave us all |
