James Taylor - Sadie [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
In a world like today
It's rare to see young mothers like the ones
Who 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 of us
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Sadie, don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?
We love you, Sadie
There's no one above you, sweet Sadie

[Verse 2]
Well, well, well
Living in the past
Some times it seems so funny
No money will turn your life around
Sweeter than cotton candy
Stronger than papas old brandy
Always that needed smile, once in awhile
She would break down and cry
Some times she'd seem so happy, yeah, yeah
Just being with us and daddy
Standing the worst of times, breaking the binds
With just a simple song

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Ever since the beginning
It's her her love that was always winning, oh
Sadie, baby, Don't you know we love you, sweet Sadie?

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
If there's a heaven up above
I know that she's teaching angels how to love
Sadie, mama, mama, mama, Sadie

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Isn't it funny that in the end
It's just the love that you gave us, oh Sadie
It's a mean world without you, yeah
Don't you know we love you, Sweet Sadie

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]
Sometimes I'm feeling so all alone
But I know I've to carry on
It's a mean world without you
But I know I got to go on
It's what you wanted for me
Living in the past, sweet Sadie

[Outro]
Oh, Sadie
I love u mama sweet Sadie
I can't forget your love
Living in the past
