I Was Anything But Sentimental 1937

I used to think
that I could laugh and live
and yet never give love a chance.
I can't believe
that once I used to feel
there was no appeal to romance.

I was anything but sentimental
love never meant a thing to me,
love never brought the spring to me
spring never meant a ring to me,
till I met you.
I was anything but sentimental
I never called one 'glorious'
I never called one 'glamorous'
I never felt so amorous
till I met you.
When our lips first had their meeting
my heart stopped it beating
then began repeating you! you!
Now I'm even more than sentimental
Love is the dearest thing to me
Love has become a Knight to me,
Love is eternal spring to me
since I met you.

I was anything but sentimental
love never meant a thing to me,
love never brought the spring to me
spring never meant a ring to me,
till I met you.
I was anything but sentimental
I never called one 'glorious'
I never called one 'glamorous'
I never felt so amorous
till I met you.
When our lips first had their meeting
my heart stopped it beating
then began repeating you! you!
Now I'm even more than sentimental
Love is the dearest thing to me
Love has become a Knight to me,
Love is eternal spring to me
since I met you.
