My Sentimental Friend

On the floor the people dance around

Moving close together

But there all alone in the corner

There's the boy 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 his eyes

Help to make him realize

The love we had was just beyond compare

Then if the time is right

Maybe he'll hold me tight

My sentimental friend over there

I recall the way we used to feel

When we heard a sad song

The teardrops would fall and he'd hold me

And tell me he'd be forever 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 his eyes

Help to make him realize

The love we had was just beyond compare

Then if the time is right

Maybe he'll hold me tight

My sentimental friend over there

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

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
