IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD
In a sentimental mood
I can see the stars come through my room
while your loving attitude
is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of every kiss
drifts a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss
you make my paradise complete
Rose petals seem to fall,
it's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's a lighter thing
since you made this night a thing divine
In a sentimental mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
for I never dreamt that you'd
be loving sentimental me
- Duke Ellington, Irving Mills & Manny Kurtz
