And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone bySometimes 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,
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall,
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain,
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
