Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twillight 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
