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
