Sometimes I wonder why I spend
When stars were bright
In my heart it will remain
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
That nightingale tells his fairy tale
You'll wander down the lane and far far away
A memory of love's refrain, love's refrain
Now my consolation
The music of the years gone by, gone by
Though I dream in vain
Always reminding me that we're apart
That melody haunts my reverie
Beside a garden wall
Of paradise where roses bloom
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
My stardust melody
You were in my arms
But you were in my arms
Beside a garden wall
My stardust melody
And each kiss an inspiration
And I am once again with you
In my heart it will remain
High up in the sky, the little stars climb
Is in the stardust of a song
Leaving me a song that will not die
When stars were bright
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Ah, but that was long ago
Though I dream in vain
When our love was new
Of paradise where roses bloom
