Hoagy Carmichael
Stardust
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
These 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
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

[Verse 2]
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
And you are in my arms
The nightingale sings its fairy tale
Of 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

[Verse 3]
Beside a garden wall
When stars were bright
And you were in my arms
The nightingale sings its fairy tale
Of 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
