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. 

That was long ago, 

When each kiss was an inspiration; 

Now you were in my arms, 

And my consolation 

Is in the stardust of a song, 

Beside a garden wall, 

When the stars are bright 

You are in my arms; 

The little nightengale sings his fairytale 

Of paradise where roses grew, 

Though I dream in vain 

In my heart it will remain 

My stardust melody, 

The memory of love's refrain. 

When I'm all alone 

And thought I was with you, 

I get so lonesome, honey, just for you, 

I love to hear you sing that song.
