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'll 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 spendthe 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 were bright

But you were in my arms

The nightingale tells his fairy tale

Of paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody

A memory of love's refrain

Love's refrain

Beside a garden wall

When stars were 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

A memory of love's refrain
