sometimes i wonder why i spend my 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 beside the garden wall when stars were bright you are in my arms the nightingale told his fairytale of paradise where roses grew though i dream in vain in my heart it will always remain my stardust melody the memory of love s refrain
