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 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 night
dreaming of a song
The melody hurts
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
A paradise
where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
in my heart
It will remain
my stardust melody
The memory
of love's refrain~
