[Instrumental Introduction: Les Brown & His Orchestra]

[Verse 1]
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

[Verse 2]
Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that, “All aboard!"

[Bridge]
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

[Verse 3]
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gonna take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
[Outro]
Sentimental journey
