Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals upon 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.
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,
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.

Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright,
You are in my arms.
The nightingale
Tells his fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain,
In my heart you will remain,
My "Stardust Melody",
The memory of love's refrain.

And now my consolation

Of paradise where roses grew.
