Star Dust

Lyrics

And now the purple dusk of twilight time  
Steals across the meadow of my heart.  
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.  
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.  
And now my consolation  
Is in the stardust of a song.  
  
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright  
You are in my arms.  
A nightingale sings its fairy tale  
Of paradise where roses bloom.  
  
Though I dream in vain  
In my heart it will remain  
That stardust melody  
The memory of love's refrain.
