"Star Dust" lyrics

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 wander down the land and far, far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The memory of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
A 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 were bright
You were 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
