Stardust

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 ears 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 and inspiration

But that was long ago

When 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
