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.

and our love was new , and each kiss an inspiration.

but that was long ago , so long long ago

and now my consolation

is in the stardust of a song.

beside the garden wall , when stars are bright

and you are in my arms

the nightingale tells his fairy tale

of paradise where roses grew.

though i dream in vain , though i dream in vain

though i dream in vain

in my heart you will remain

my stardust melody

the memory of loves refrain.
