Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow 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
That 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
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart, you know it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Oh yes, that stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
