In A Sentimental Mood Lyrics

In A Sentimental Mood

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
