And now the purple dusk
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 away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night 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
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells
his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells
his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
