[Introductory verses:]
And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little moon starts toclimb 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 spenda lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie, and I am once again with you
When our love was newand 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
