And now the purple dusk of twilight time, steals across the meadows of my heart,

High up in the sky, the little stars shine, always reminding me that we're apart.

You wandered 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

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright, You are in my arms

The melody haunts my reverie, And I am once again with you

The nightingale tells his fairy tale, of paradise where roses grew *go to CODA

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

CODA: Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain

My stardust melody, The memory of love's refrain
