Sometimes I wonder why I spend   The lonely night 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   But that was long ago   And now my consolation   Is in the stardust of a song      And beside a garden wall   When stars were bright   You are in my arms   The nightingale told his fairy tale   A paradise where roses bloom      Though I dream in vain   In my heart it always will remain   My stardust melody   The memory of love's refrain      Though I dream in vain   In my heart it always will remain   My stardust melody   The memory of love's refrain      The memory of love's refrain
