Key: G
Introduction:
G9 G G7M G C9
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
B7 E E7
Steals across the meadows of my heart.
Am Cm G G/F# Em
High up in the sky the little stars climb,
F# F#7 D Fº D7
Always reminding me that we're apart.
G9 G G7M G C9
You wandered down the lane and far away,
B7 E E7
Leaving me a song that will not die.
Am Cm G G/F#Em
Love is now the stardust of yesterday,
D7 Gº Am7 Cº G Cm G
The music of the years gone by.
G7M G G9 C Am C F
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night
F7 G G/F# Em Bm7(b5) E7
Dreaming of a song. The melody haunts my reverie,
Am7 E7 Fº Am7 Fº Am
And I am once again with you.
D Fº D7 D7M G6 D7M G6
When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration,
A9 G A7 G
But that was long ago, and now my consolation
D7 Am7 C D7 D7M
Is in the stardust of a song.
C7M C Am C F7
Beside a garden wall when stars are bright,
Fm7(9)
You are in my arms.
G G/F# Em Bm5 E7
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Am7 E7 Fº Am7 Fº Am
Of paradise where roses grew.
D A7 D7 G G/F#Em B7M F#7 B7
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain
C C/B E7 Am7
My stardust melody,
D7 Cº G Am7 Cm G6
The memory of love's refrain.
