The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

I’ve completely, indiscreetly, fallen for you
I’m demented, but so contented, dear
Passion blinds me, nightfall finds me, calling for you
But I know well, I’m in a spell
When I’m near you, Mm-mm

Refrain
Sweet madness, it’s sweet madness
When we two are together
Sweet madness, what else can it be?
When you’re close to me
I’m not responsible, darling
Your lips willing, are so thrilling
And each thrill lasts forever
Sweet madness, we’re mad and I’m glad
It’s grand to go mad with you
