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.
