Sentimental Lady Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are here and warm
But I could look away and you'd be gone
'Cause we live in a time
When meaning falls in splinters from our lives
And that's why I've traveled far
'Cause I come so together where you are

[Bridge]
Yes, and all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very

[Chorus]
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one

Ooh, sentimental lady

[Verse 2]
Yes, and all of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very
[Chorus]
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)
Sentimental gentle wind
Blowing through my life again
Sentimental lady, gentle one (All I need is you)

[Verse 1]
All of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you
Fourteen joys and a will to be merry
All of the things that they say are very (All I need is you)

All of the things that I said that I wanted
Come rushing by in my head when I'm with you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What has Bob Welch said about working with Lindsey Buckingham on the song?
Genius Answer

Welch shared in a Q&A:

That’s Lindsey playing the ‘chiming’ intro guitars on ‘Sentimental Lady.’ He’s great to work with, because he has a unique ‘vision’ and he persists and persists until what he’s hearing matches his ‘vision.’ He’s also a fantastic guitar player; I’ve never seen anybody play with an index finger the way he does…
