And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the skys the little stars climb

Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered 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
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

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody

The memory of love's refrain
