Ellington: In a Sentimental Mood

In A Sentimental Mood

I can see the stars come thru 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

In A Sentimental Mood

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 the stars come thru 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

In A Sentimental Mood

I'm within a world so heavenly

For I never dreamt

That you'd be loving sentimental me
