And now the purple dust 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 And 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 And now my consolation Is in a stardust of a song And beside the garden wall Where stars are bright And you are in my arms The nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart, it always will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain ♪ And beside the garden wall Where stars are bright And you are in my arms And the nightingale tells its fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom And though I dream in vain In my heart, it always will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
