Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder
Why I spend my 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
Oh, but that was long ago
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall, when stars were bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale told his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses blue
Though I dream in vain
In my heart, it'll always remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
