You wandered down the lane and faraway, Leaving me a song that will not die, Love is now the stardust of yesterday, The music of the years gone by
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 the garden wall
When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale 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
