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
