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   Oh but that was long ago   And now my consolation   Is in the stardust of a song      And beside a garden wall   When the stars were bright   You were in my arms   The nightingale tells its fairy tale   Of paradise where roses grew      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
