Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Stills 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 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 Behind the garden walls When stars are bright, you are in my arms The nightingale tells its fairy tale A paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart you will remain, my stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
