Songs of days gone by
by Alice McKiel

Here are a few songs Grandma used to sing while she knitted me a scarf or mittens
           

STARDUST Sometimes I wonder why I spent these lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody, haunts my memory And I am once again with you. When our love was new, And each kiss an inspiration- Ah, but that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the Stardust of a song Beside a garden wall when stars are bright You are in my arms; the nightingale sings his fairytale Of paradise, where roses bloom. Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain, My Stardust melody, a memory of love's refrain.
