"Stardust"
Music by Hoagy Charmichael, 1927.
Lyrics by Mitchell Parrish, 1929.
Sometimes, I wonder why
I spend such 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
and now my consolation
is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall,
when stars were bright
and you are in my arms.
The Nightengale told
his fairytale of paradise,
where roses grew
and though I dream in vain,
in my heart, it will remain.
My stardust Melody,
the memory of
Love's Refrain.
