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