Stardust

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 that we're far apart

You wandered 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 those lonely nights dreaming of a song

The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

Well 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 a garden wall

When stars are bright you are in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairytale

Of paradise where roses grew

Lord though I dream in vain

In my heart it's gonna remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
