[Verse 1] Blue and sentimental, waitin’ here alone My heart is like a record, playin’ one sad tone Your shadow’s on the pillow, your name’s in every sigh It’s hard to keep from weepin’ when the moon is ridin’ high [Verse 2] Time moves like molasses, slow and cold and sweet Each memory’s a ghost now, driftin’ down the street I stir my cup of coffee, but it don’t warm my hands It’s blue and sentimental — and nobody understands [Bridge] You said you'd call me someday, But silence filled the phone The night has grown familiar — Since I’ve been here alone [Verse 3] Blue and sentimental, like an old jazz tune Dancin’ with my shadows ‘neath a lonesome moon I hum the song you taught me, it echoes through the room Just blue and sentimental, wrapped in midnight’s bloom
