Stardust

Jimmie Lunceford


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 
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 fairy tale 
A paradise where roses bloom 
Though I dream in vain 
In my heart it will remain 
My stardust melody 
The memory of love's refrain
