And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Now the little stars, the little stars pine
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a love that cannot 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
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright, you are in my arms
That nightingale tells its 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
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright, you are in my arms
That nightingale tells its 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
