Lyrics

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 a 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 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 heart.
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
of paradise when roses grew.
Though I dream in vain,
in my heart it will remain,
my stardust melody,
the memory of love's refrain.
