And now the purple dusk 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 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   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   A paradise where roses bloom      Though I dream in vain   In my heart it will remain   My stardust melody   The memory of love's refrain
