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.
