In The Mood
Michael Maxwell/Steve Wingfield Lyrics

In A Sentimental Mood
The singer is experiencing a sentimental mood, a feeling of strong emotion or nostalgia.

I can see the stars come thru my room
The singer is lying in bed and can see the stars shining through the window of their room.

While your loving attitude Is like a flame that lights the gloom
The listener's affection for the singer is so strong that it brightens up their darkest moments, like a flame that dispels darkness.

On the wings of ev'ry kiss Drift a melody so strange and sweet
Every time the listener kisses the artist, it feels like a strange and sweet tune is serenading them, carried by the wings of the kiss.

In this sentimental bliss you make my Paradise complete
The listener's presence in the artist's life brings them a sense of complete contentment, a blissful feeling of happiness and satisfaction.

Rose pearls seem to fall It's all like a dream to call you mine
The singer is so happy to have the listener in their life that it feels like a dream come true, as if rose pearls were falling around them, a metaphor for a perfect moment.

My heart's lighter thing Since you made me this night a thing divine
The listener has made the singer's heart feel lighter and happier, as if they're experiencing a divine moment.

I'm within a world so heavenly For I never dreamt That you'd be loving sentimental me
The artist feels like they're living in a heavenly world since they never expected someone to love them as sentimentally as the listener does.
