The Mood That I’m In - Billie Holiday

THE MOOD THAT I’M IN

Abner Silver / Al Sherman

Never dared to have your arms around me

Not that I considered it a sin

But tonight I want your arms around me

It’s the mood that I’m in

Can it be the music that they’re playin'

Or the magic of the violin

That intrigues my heart to obeyin'

It’s the mood that I’m in

Maybe it’s the cocktail that I’m sippin'

Tonight I’m so romantically inclined

So speak to me of love

In words so tender

Let the rhapsody of life begin

I could give my heart in sweet surrender

It’s the mood I’m in
