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 wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is still the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song A melody haunts my reverie, and I am once again with you When our love was new, and each kiss, was an inspiration But that was long ago, and now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall when the stars are bright, you are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale of paradise where roses bloom Though I dreamed in vain, in my heart it will remain My stardust melody, a memory of love's refrain Waking skies at sunrise, every sunset too Seems to be bringing me memories Even there, everywhere, seems that once we knew And they all just recall, memories of you How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears They have left a rosary of tears Your face beams in my dreams, in spite of all I do Everything seems to bring memories of you Everything seems to bring memories of you The memory of love's refrain
