(Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights) dreamin` 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
(And beside a garden wall, when the stars were bright)
You were in my arms, the nightingale told its fairy tale of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody (the memory of love`s refrain)
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody (the memory of love`s refrain)
The memory (of love`s refrain)
And now the purple dusk of twilight time steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb, always reminding me that we`re apart
You wander down the lane and far away, leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by
