Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make
My Paradise complete
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 through 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
The lyrics of Duke Ellington & His Orchestra's song In A Sentimental Mood evoke the feeling of being enveloped in a warm, intimate embrace. The singer is surrounded by stars and a loving attitude that acts as a flame that lights up the darkness. The sweetness of a melody accompanies each kiss, and in this state of sentimental bliss, the singer's paradise feels complete. The dropping of rose pearls heightens the dreaminess of this moment and their sense of possession over the object of their affection. They never imagined that this person would love them back with such unwavering sentimentality.
The song paints a picture of the kind of all-encompassing love that can leave one feeling weightless and elated. The lyrics express both the disbelief and the joy in realizing that someone loves them in such a way. The poetic description of being surrounded by stars and pearls create a magical ambiance that the singer seems to be unwilling to leave. The gentle melody of the song compliments the sensation of being swept away in a moment of pure affection.

Can't describe how good it feels to just sit back at 2 AM and closing your eyes while this song plays in the background

It's pretty incredible to close your eyes and immerse yourself in during a sunrise after a long night of talking with good peoples too. Just throwing it out there.
Be Bright and never say Good Night.
