sentimental melancholy

Billie Holiday

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
