[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how I spend
The lonely nights listening for 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
Where flowers bloom
You are in my heart
The nightingale sings his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though our love's in vain
In my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
