And now the purple dust 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 the garden wall when stars are bright

You are in my arms the nightingale tells his fairy tale

Of paradise where roses grew

Tho' I dream in vain

In my heart it will remain

My stardust melody the memory of love's refrain
