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 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 The 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 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 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
