Stardust

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 apartYou 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 bySometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with youWhen our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a songBeside the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grewThough I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
