***INTRO***

***VERSE 1***
On the floor the people dance around
Moving close together
But there all alone in the corner
There s the girl I once knew who broke me in two
***CHORUS
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
***VERSE 2***
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.
***CHORUS***
