| On the floor, the people dancing round
|
| Moving close together
|
| But there over low in the corner
|
| There’s the girl I once knew
|
| Who broke me in two.
|
| So won’t you please play a song
|
| A sentimental song
|
| For my sentimental friend over there.
|
| We’ve been so long apart
|
| Make it go right to the heart
|
| Of my sentimental friend over there.
|
| Bring the tears to her eyes
|
| Help to make her realize
|
| The love we had was just beyond compare.
|
| And if the time is right
|
| Maybe I’ll held her tight
|
| My sentimental friend over there.
|
| I recall the way she used to feel
|
| When we heard a sad song
|
| The teardrops would fall
|
| And she’d hold me And tell me,
|
| She’d be for ever with me.
|
| So won’t you please play a song
|
| A sentimental song
|
| For my sentimental friend over there.
|
| We’ve been so long apart
|
| Make it go right to the heart
|
| Of my sentimental friend over there.
|
| Bring the tears to her eyes
|
| Help to make her realize
|
| The love we had was just beyond compare.
|
| And if the time is right
|
| Maybe I’ll held her tight
|
| My sentimental friend over there.
|
| Oh won’t you please play a song
|
| A sentimental song
|
| For my sentimental friend over there.
|
| We’ve been so long apart
|
| Make it go right to the heart
|
| Of my sentimental friend over there.
|
| Bring the tears to her eyes

| The love we had was just beyond compare.
|
| And if the time is right
|
