"Stardust" — Hoagy Carmichael's most celebrated composition.

(Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights) dreamin' 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
Oh, but that was long ago, and now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
(And beside a garden wall, when the stars were bright)
You were in my arms, the nightingale told its fairy tale of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody (the memory of love's refrain)
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody (the memory of love's refrain)
re apart
You wander down the lane and far away, leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by

  • Written by Hoagy Carmichael in 1927, lyrics added by Mitchell Parish in 1929. "The most recorded song in history" — a different statistic from the most covered. Carmichael's melody so natural it sounds like it was always there. Sinatra's recording one of hundreds, each definitive in different ways.
