Blue and sentimental,
My dreams are blue dreams,
Just won't come true dreams,
Blue dreams I find.

Blue and sentimental,
I can't forget you,
My heart won't let you
Out of my mind.

It rains all the time
Since you said goodbye,
The skies in my eyes,
In my heart all cry.

Blue and sentimental,
If you don't want me,
Why do you haunt me,
And keep me feeling
Blue and sentimental?

It rains all the time
Since you said goodbye,
Well the skies in my eyes,
In my heart all cry.

Blue and sentimental,
If you don't want me,
Why do you haunt me,
And keep me feeling
Blue and sentimental, yes sentimental?
