Intro: Gdim Edim  Dm E7 Cm5-/7 D9 Am7 D7 G G/F# Em D9 Am7 Cdim G6 
 
G   Gdim  Edim   A7     Am7 D7 
The song       a robin sings 
        Dm7  Dm5-/7   Fdim        C   C/B           
Through years      of endless springs 
Cdim G          Em      Bm          Gdim 
The murmur of a brook at eventide 
      D           Gdim           Am7            B7 
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide 
  Bm5-/7  E7              Am7 
A great     symphonic theme 
                  Cm7      Cm5-/7            G9       G6 
That's Stella by starlight       and not a dream 
   Gdim   Edim        Dm   E7 
My heart      and I agree 
               Cm7  Cm5-/7                G   
She's ev'rything         on earth to me 
 
Interlude: G Gdim Edim A7 Am7 D7 Dm7 Dm5-/7 Fdim C C/B Cdim G Em Bm  Gdim D Gdim Am7 B7 
 
   Bm5-/7   E7            Am7 
A great     symphonic theme 
                 Cm7       Cm5-/7            G9      G6 
That's Stella by starlight       and not a dream 
   Gdim  Edim        Dm  E7 
My heart      and I agree 
               Cm7    Cm5-/7             G   G/F#  Em 
She's ev'rything         on earth to me 
              Cm5-/7  D9      Am7  D7 G G/F# Em D9 Am7 Cdim G6 
She's ev'rything      on earth to me
