In A Sentimental Mood - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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 ev’ry kiss

Drift a melody so strange and sweet

In this sentimental bliss you make

My Paradise complete

Rose pearls seem to fall

It’s all like a dream to call you mine

My heart’s lighter thing since you

Made me this night a thing divine

I’m within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt that you’d be

Loving sentimental me

In A Sentimental Mood I can see

On the wings of ev’ry kiss

Drift a melody so strange and sweet

My Paradise complete

Rose pearls seem to fall

It’s all like a dream to call you mine

My heart’s lighter thing since you

Made me this night a thing divine

I’m within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt that you’d be
