In a Sentimental Mood                              Duke Ellington

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, 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'd never dreamt that you'd be loving sentimental me.
