Joe Loss and His Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

This tune gets imprinted into my brain! I whistle it everyday. Would have loved to be dancing to this in the hay day, might have to try and find somewhere to today.

Great recording! I'm mystified as to why he didn't have a signature tune written for the band though!

Interesting thought Alan - Maybe he thought he didn't need one? - PAUL.

@@ComptonLodgeStudios my father was too bless him and it was he who got me into listening to big bands! Though to be honest from the mid to late 70s onwards I became more interested in the modern jazz orientated big bands like Stan Kenton Don Ellis etc
