Stardust

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 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 bloom
'though i dream in vain
in my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
the memory of love's refrain
