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 I could 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 In a sentimental mood I'm within a world so heavenly For I never dreamt that You'd be loving sentimental me Billy Joel's version of "In A Sentimental Mood"
