Song lyrics to “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons“, (1945) by by Ivory “Deek” Watson and William “Pat” Best
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I’ll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we’ll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I’m never lonely
Whenever you’re in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I’ve given you my heart
(Instrumental break)
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I’ve given you my heart
