Tommy Dorsey [trombonist]

Once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heartOnce in a while will you dream of the moments I shared with you,
Moments before we two drifted apart.In love's smoldering ember, one spark may remain,
If love still can remember the spark may burn again.I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.

Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy, you whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy what to do, what to doHave you ever felt a gentle touch and then a kiss and then, and then
Find it's only your imagination again, oh wellImagination is silly, you go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apartYou 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
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night 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
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a songBeside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
