G9 G G7M G C9
And now the purple dusk of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

High up in the sky the little stars climb

The music of the years gone by

Dreaming of a song. The meloy haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration

Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall when stars are bright

Of paradise where roses grew.
