Stardust

And now the purple dusk 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 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 a garden wall
 when stars are bright
 you are in my arms
 the nightingale tells his fairy tale
 a paradise where roses bloom
 though i dream in vain
 in my heart it will remain
 my stardust melody
 the memory of love's refrain
