“Stardust” by Nat King Cole plays

I listen to the lyrics and ponder

“Sometimes I wonder, how I spend the lonely nights

dreaming of a song. The melody haunts my reverie

and I am once again with you. Though I dream in vain

in my heart it will remain my stardust melody

the memory of love’s refrain”

.

I am so greatly moved by music

It is the root of such great joy and elation

as well as such terrible sorrow

It touches me in a way little else can

yet so do you.

I am supposed to choose which I love more ?

If given the chance, do I move away to pursue

an education in what I love so deeply ?

or do I trade away prestige and years of work

to stay close to the one who has made every melody

soar beyond what I could ever imagine ?

.

Music is an act of love, that is why it is so rewarding.

What do I do if I have to trade a happy, strong love

for the art that makes every emotion worth feeling ?

I don’t want our love to be a stardust melody,

I want it to sing through every single note I play
