             Am7
Sometimes, I wonder why I spend

           F7
the lonely nights dreaming of a song

G                    Bm     Bbm
the melody haunts my reverie

Am       E7              Am
and I am once again with you

         D7           D9
when our love was new

D7                       G       D/F#  G
   and each kiss an inspiration

    A
But that was long ago
and now my consolation
D7        Eb7            D7
is in the stardust of a song
[B-section]
  Am7
Beside the garden wall,

               F7
when stars are bright, you are in my arms

G                 E7
   The nightingale tells his fairytale

Am            E7           Am
   of paradise where roses bloom

             Cm
And though I dream in vain,

            G                    E7
in my heart, there always will remain

   Am7            D7
My stardust melody, the memory

            G      Cm    G
of love's refrain.

in my heart, there always will remain

   Am7            D7
My stardust melody, the memory

of love's refrain.
