Lyrics by Mitchell Parrish, 1929.
[Am]
Sometimes, I wonder why
[F7]
I spend such lonely nights
dreaming of a song
[G] [E7]
the melody haunts my reverie
[Am] [E7] [Am]
and I am once again with you
[D7]
when our love was new
[A7] [D7]
and each kiss an inspiration
[Am]
Ah, but that was long ago
and now my consolation
[D7] [A7] [D7]
is in the stardust of a song
[Am]
Beside a garden wall,
[F7]
when stars were bright
and you are in my arms.
[G]
The Nightengale told
[E7] [Am] [E7]
his fairytale of paradise,
[Am]
where roses grew
[Cm]
and though I dream in vain,
[G] [E7]
in my heart, it will remain.
[Am7] [D7]
My stardust Melody,
the memory of
[G] [Cm] [G]
Love's Refrain.
