Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights dreaming of a song That 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 only consolation Is in the stardust of a song It was beside the garden wall (Beside the garden wall) (Beside the garden wall) When stars are bright (When stars are bright at night) You were in my arms The nightingale tells its fairytale Of paradise where roses bloom So I dream in vain In my heart you will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
