Hoagy Carmichael - Stardust (1960) lyrics

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
