Johnny mercer / richard whiting

Sentimental and melancholy
Whenever i think about you
It’s only a mood,
A brief interlude
That’s better described as just feeling blue

I suppose that it’s just my folly
To keep it alive as i do
But it’s a kind of sugar coated misery
And foolish as it seems
I thought i’d like to be
Sentimental and melancholy
Whenever i think about you
