Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
And the melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss, an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
[Verse 2]
And beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
Yeah, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses grew
[Chorus]
Though I dream in vain
In my heart
There always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
[Chorus]
And though I dream in vain
In my heart
There always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Alright, Booker
[Chorus]
Though I dream in vain
In my heart
There always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
[Outro]
Thank you
Thank you very much, thank you, Booker
