Stella By Starlight
The Ames Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide

That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on this earth to me

That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream




My heart and I agree
She's everything on this earth to me
