Lyrics

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 loveโ€™s re (C)frain.

Some times (C7)I (F)won der why I spend the lone ly (Fm(maj7))night

dream ing of a song?

The (C)mel o dy
