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're 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
|
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.
