And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of myheart.
Highup in the sky, thelittle stars climb,
Always reminding me that we're apart.
You wander 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 nights dreaming of a song,
The melody, haunts my revery
And am once again withyou,
When our love was new, and kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago,
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, 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.
