Sometimes I wonder why
I spend the lonely night dreamin' of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
And our love was new
And each kiss, an inspiration
But that was long ago, so long, long ago
And now, my consolation is in this stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
Where stars were bright
And you were in my arms
And the nightingale tells his fairy tale of paradise
Where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
Though I dream in vain
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
