Lyrics by Mitchell Parrish, 1929.
Am
Sometimes, I wonder why
B7
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,
B7
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.
