Hoagy Carmichael
Sometimes I wonder, how 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, but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When 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 love’s refrain
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love’s refrain

STARDUST 1927 |
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.
BESIDE A GARDEN WALL
WHEN 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 LOVE’S REFRAIN.
