Lyrics by Mitchell Parrish, 1929.
             Am        
Sometimes, I wonder why
                    F7    
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,
                F7    
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.
