In A Sentimental Mood

In A Sentimental Mood
music by Duke Ellington (left)
lyric by Irving Mills (right) & Mannie Kurtz

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 I could 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 dreamed that you'd be loving sentimental me...
