Sentimental Journey
Embark on a Heartfelt Voyage with Duke Ellington's Sentimental Journey
Lyrics
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gearing up for an emotional trip down memory lane
Gonna set my heart at ease
Intending to calm and comfort my emotions
Gonna make a sentimental journey
Preparing for an emotional journey
To renew old memories
To revisit and refresh past experiences
Got my bag, got my reservation
Ready with my belongings and travel plans
Spent each dime I could afford
Spent all affordable money on the trip
Like a child in wild anticipation
Feeling excited and eager, like a child
Long to hear that "All aboard"
Longing for the announcement to start the journey
Seven--that's the time we leave--at seven
Specifying the departure time at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Willing to wait eagerly for this experience
Countin' every mile of railroad track
Counting each mile of the journey
That takes me back
Tracks triggering memories of the past
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Surprised at the depth of my emotional longing
Why did I decide to roam?
Questioning the decision to wander
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Feeling compelled to embark on this emotional journey
Sentimental journey home
Returning to a place of emotional comfort and nostalgia
Sentimental journey
Reiteration of the emotional journey
