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 nights

Dreaming of a song

That melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you

When our love was new

And each kiss, an inspiration

Oh, 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

That nightingale sings his fairytale

Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain

In my heart it always will remain

My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
