Hoagy Carmichael
The Man Who Composed Stardust Left Us Diamonds Of Song
"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; now my consolation
"Is in the stardust of a song"
