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 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 hurts
| 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~
