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'll wander down the lane and far far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by, gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights dreaming of a song That melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration Ah, but that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall When stars were bright But you were in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody A memory of love'sain, love'sain Beside a garden wall When stars were bright You were in my arms That nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody A memory of love'sain
