Stardust
by Hoagy Carmichael

Sometimes I wonder
why
I spend
the lonely night
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
Though I dream in vain

in my heart
it will remain
my stardust melody
the memory
of love’s refrain.
