Some times I (F)won der why I spend the lone ly (Fm(maj7))night
dream ing of a song?
The (C)mel o dy
(A7)haunts my rev er ie,
and I am once a gain with you,
(Fm)when our (G7)love was (Gdim)new,
and each kiss an in spi (C)ra tion.
But (D7)that was long a go: now my con so la tion is (G7)in the (Dm7)star dust of a (G7)song.
(C7)Be (F)side a gar den wall, when stars are (Fm(maj7))bright,
you are in my arms.
The (C)night in gale
(A7)tells his fair y tale
of par a dise, where ros es grew.
Though I (Fm)dream in vain,
in my (C)heart (G)it (Am)will (C)re (B7)main:
(E7)my (F6)star dust mel o (A7)dy,
the mem o (G7)ry of love’s re (C)frain.

This page shows “Stardust” by Hoagy Carmichael in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 90 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
