And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadow 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 night 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 But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairytale Of paradise where roses bloom And though I dream in vain In my heart you know it always will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain And though I dream in vain In my heart you know it always will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain Oh yes that stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
