In A Sentimental Mood
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's a 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'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd
Be loving sentimental me
The lyrics to the song "In A Sentimental Mood" by Ella Fitzgerald have a very romantic and passionate tone to them. It seems as though the singer is in a state of ecstasy, as they describe the way in which their lover's affection makes them feel. The first few lines describe the singer's surroundings, as they sit in their room and enjoy the view of the stars. They then go on to describe the way their lover's attitude affects them, likening it to a flame that lights the darkness.
The lyrics then take on a more poetic tone, as the singer describes how every kiss from their lover brings with it a sweet and melodious tune. The singer seems to be lost in this sentimental bliss, and they declare that their lover makes their paradise complete. The final lines of the song express the sheer joy and wonder that the singer experiences in the knowledge that their lover feels the same way about them. The fact that the singer describes themselves as a "sentimental" person suggests that they are prone to deep emotion and introspection, and they seem to find a kindred spirit in their lover.

I am feeling emotional and nostalgic.
I can see the stars come through my room
I am filled with wonder and awe, as I watch the stars shining brightly in my room.
While your loving attitude
Your kind and affectionate nature,

Is accompanied by a beautiful and unique melody.

You make my paradise complete
You are the missing piece that completes my happiness.
Rose petals seem to fall
Everything around me becomes romantic and dreamy.
It's all like a dream to call you mine
It feels unreal to have you as my own.
My heart's a lighter thing
I feel lighter and happier in my heart.
Since you made me this night a thing divine
Because of you, this night has become a sacred and special thing to me.

Be loving sentimental me
Love me despite my sentimental nature.

Ella'a voice is pure magic here. The instrumental recording of this song by John Coltrane and Duke Ellington is still my favorite but this vocal version is wonderfully evocative in its own right. I can't believe this got 54 dislikes. WTF??
djangorheinhardt
