Sadie (2006 Remaster|Single Version) - The Spinners
Written by:Thom Bell
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
Sometimes 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
Sometimes she'd be so happy
Being with us
And daddy
Standing the worst
Of times
Breaking the binds
With just a simple song
Oh Sadie baby
Don't you know
We love you she'll love us all in a special way
Well well well
Place no one above you
Sweet Sadie Sadie
Livin' in the past
Living in the past
Oh she's never sinnin'
In love
She's always winnin' yeah
Sadie
Don't you know
We love you I love you mama
I just can't forget
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
All the love you showed
Oh
I could never ever doubt
Her lovely word
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
Sadie
Have you ever
Had you ever
That Sadie
Oh
The premier of ladies
Living in the past
Oh
Sometimes I feel so alone
But I know I gonna go on
Sadie
That's what she wanted for me
I know it's gonna be hard sometimes
Oh Sadie
