Lyrics:
[Introductory verses:]
And now the purple dusk of
twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little moon
starts to
climb
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
a lonely night 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.
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
