By Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parish

 

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I SPEND THE 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.

BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO,

NOW MY CONSOLATION

IS IN THE STARDUST OF A SONG.





BESIDE A GARDEN WALL WHERE STARS ARE BRIGHT,

YOU ARE IN MY ARMS.

THE NIGHTINGALE TELLS HIS FAIRYTALE

OF PARADISE WHERE ROSES GREW.

THOUGH I DREAM IN VAIN,

IN MY HEART IT WILL REMAIN,

MY STARDUST MELODY,

THE MEMORY OF LOVES REFRAIN.





AAAHHH, HIT ME!





THE NIGHTINGALE TELLS HIS FAIRYTALE

OF PARADISE WHERE ROSES GREW.

THOUGH I DREAM IN VAIN,

IN MY HEART IT WILL REMAIN,

MY STARDUST MELODY,

THE MEMORY OF LOVES REFRAIN.
