Stardust
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming 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.
But that was long ago, and now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain, in my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

-"Stardust"
Lyrics by Mitchell Parish
Music by Hoagy Carmichael

In loving memory of Todd Burton Faulstich, my partner from 1979-1986, and Michael Lee Gibson (1947-1952) my big brother, both of whom would have been 60 years old this month.
