In The Mood
Bobby Byrne And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it




But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

Line by Line Meaning

In A Sentimental Mood
Feeling nostalgic and sappy


I can see the stars come thru my room
The night feels magical and dreamy


While your loving attitude is like a flame that lights the gloom
Your affection is so powerful that it dispels any darkness


On the wings of ev'ry kiss drift a melody so strange and sweet
Each kiss is like a musical note, creating a beautiful and unique symphony


In this sentimental bliss you make my paradise complete
Your presence brings pure joy and contentment to my life


Rose pearls seem to fall
The atmosphere feels rich and luxurious


It's all like a dream to call you mine
Having you as my partner feels too good to be true


My heart's lighter thing since you made me this night a thing divine
You have uplifted my spirit and made this evening truly special


I'm within a world so heavenly
My surroundings feel like a slice of paradise


For I never dreamt that you'd be loving sentimental me
I can't believe that someone as wonderful as you could care for someone like me
