Sentimental and Melancholy - Billie Holiday, Lester Young

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
