And now, the purple dust of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky, those little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lake 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 had inspiration
But that was long ago And 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 Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart, it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
