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 are apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is just the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
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
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall when stars were bright
You were in my arms
The nightingale
HUmmed his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses bloomed
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
That stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we are apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is just the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
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
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall when stars were bright
You were in my arms
The nightingale
HUmmed his fairytale
Of paradise, where roses bloomed
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
That stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
