sentimental and melancholy - billie holiday lyrics

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
