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
Melody
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night
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
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
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
