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 wandered down the lane and far away  Leaving me a song that will not die  Love is now a stardust of yesterday  The music of the years 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 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 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
