Verse 1
[D] [D] [Dm] [Dm]
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend my lonely nights, dreaming of a song,
[A] [F#] [Bm] [Bm]
the melody haunts my reverie and I am once again with you.
[E] [E] [A] [F#m] [F#m]
All our love that's new and each kiss an inspiration,
[Bm] [B7] [E] [E] [A]
but that was long ago and now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
Verse 2
[D] [D] [Dm] [Dm]
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright and you are in my arms,
[A] [F#] [Bm] [Bm]
the nightingale tells his fairytale of paradise, where roses grew.
[E] [E] [Dm] [A] [F#]
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain
[Bm] [E] [A] [Dm] [A]
my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
NOTE:
Their must be another version with this lyrics as first Verse
but requester did ask this version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbRQO4LDLYM
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
