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 away Leaving me a love that cannot die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years 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 Where stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall Where stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
