Lyrics
One time I was as gay as a king
Sailed about like a bird on the wing
Every day had the gladness of Spring
My heart was free
I looked into your eyes, little dreaming
What the future would be
Now your smile is the sun to me
Lady, what have you done to me?
I’m
Refrain:
Feeling sentimental, it isn’t accidental
But all because of you
My eyes must be revealing
That sentimental feeling
So sweet, so dear, so new
When the sun goes down
And the stars come out
And the moon beams kiss the sea
Then the thought comes stealing through
That I should be kissing you, dear
Feeling sentimental, I long to see you
Feeling sentimental for me
