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 hold 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.
