Sentimental me, 
Guess I'll always be 
So in love with you. 
don't know what to do, 
Sentimental me.

Dreaming while I live, 
Living just to give 
All my love to you. 
No one else will do,
Sentimental me.

Reaching for the moon 
And wishing on a star,
On my honeymoon 
I want to be where you are.

Darling, can't you see 
It as meant to be?
I'm in love with you, 
Say you love me, too, 
Sentimental me.

Reaching for the moon (reaching for the moon) 
And wishing on a star (wishing on a star), 
On my honeymoon (on my honeymoon) 
I want to be where you are.

Darling, can't you see 
It was meant to be?
I'm in love with you,
Say you love me, too,
Sentimental me.
