And now the purple dust of twilight time

Steals across the meadows of my heart

Now the little stars, the little stars pine

Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away

Leaving me a love that cannot die

Love is now the stardust of yesterday

The music of the years gone by

Sometimes, I wonder why I spend the lonely nights

Dreaming of a song, that melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you, when our love was new

And each kiss, an inspiration

Ah, but that was long ago

Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall where stars are bright, you are in my arms

That nightingale tells its 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

Ah, but that was long ago

Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall where stars are bright, you are in my arms

That nightingale tells its 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
