Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night 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
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

And beside a garden wall
When stars were bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale told his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

The memory of love's refrain
