Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
VERSE:
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart,
High up in the sky the little moon starts to 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.
CHORUS:
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,
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
And beside a garden wall,
When stars were bright,
You are in my arms,
The nightingale told 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.
