And now the purple dust of twilight time

Steals across the meadows 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 far away

Leaving me a song that will not die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by.

gone by.



Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely nights

Dreaming of a song

That melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss an inspiration

Ah, but that was long ago

Now my consolation

Is in the stardust of a song



Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You were in my arms

That nightingale tells his fairy tale

of paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain.

(love's refrain)



Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright

You are in my arms

That nightingale tells his fairy tale

of paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain.
