Star dust
T: Mitchell parish
M: Hoagy Carmichael
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonley night,
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.
But that was long ago
now my consolation,
is in the star dust of a song.
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright,
you are in my arms.
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradises where roses grew,
Though I dream in vain,
in my heart it will remain,
my star dust melody.
The memory of love's refrain
