Hoagy Carmichael - Stardust

Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely nights dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you


When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

Ah but that was long ago

Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song


Beside the garden wall when stars are bright

You are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

Of paradise where roses grew


Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
